Tenets of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): Its Principles and Concepts — Road to Quantum Gravity and the Unification of Forces and Fields in Modern Theoretical Physics 

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) is a radical, emerging framework in theoretical physics, primarily developed by John Onimisi Obidi (originated in 2025). It proposes that entropy is not a mere statistical measure of disorder but a fundamental, dynamic field that serves as the substrate from which all physical reality—including spacetime, gravity, and quantum mechanics—emerges. 

Core Principles 

The theory centers on several novel concepts that attempt to re-root physics in entropic terms: 

• Entropy as a Fundamental Field (
  

  $S\left(x\right)$
  ): ToE elevates entropy to an "ontic" scalar field that permeates existence. All physical laws, geometry, and interactions are viewed as manifestations of this field's dynamics.
• The No-Rush Theorem: This principle dictates that no physical interaction can occur instantaneously. Every causal influence requires a finite propagation interval dictated by the entropic field, providing a thermodynamic basis for the universal speed limit.
• Reinterpretation of the Speed of Light (
  

  $c$
  ): The constant
  

  $c$
  is not a postulate but a consequence. It represents the maximum rate at which the entropic field can rearrange information and energy.
• The Obidi Action: A universal variational principle that determines the dynamics of the entropic field, analogous to the Einstein-Hilbert action in general relativity.
• Master Entropic Equation (MEE): Derived from the Obidi Action, this equation governs how entropy gradients evolve and couple to matter and geometry, functioning as the entropic equivalent of Einstein's field equations. 

Derivation of Existing Physics 

ToE posits to derive established physics as special cases or emergent phenomena: 

• Relativity: Effects like time dilation, length contraction, and mass increase are derived from "entropic resistance" and conservation laws within the field, rather than being treated as geometric postulates.
• Emergent Gravity: Gravity is viewed not as a fundamental force or mere spacetime curvature, but as an emergent property of entropic gradients. Systems follow "entropic geodesics"—paths that maximize entropy flow.
• Quantum Mechanics: Quantum behavior, including wave-particle duality and entanglement delays, is reinterpreted as a consequence of finite-rate entropic rearrangements. 

Status and Validation 

• Scientific Standing: As of early 2026, ToE is a non-mainstream, emerging proposal documented largely in preprints and early-stage research. It has not yet achieved formal acceptance or widespread peer review within the broader physics community.
• Testability: Proponents suggest it is falsifiable through attosecond measurements of entanglement delays. If any causal signal were detected faster than the "entropic cone" allows, the theory would be invalidated.
• Mathematical Nature: Unlike the closed-form solutions of relativity, MEE solutions are typically approached through iterative, information-geometric methods, mirroring the way information is updated in Bayesian inference.
