Ontodynamics and Entropology in the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): On Physical Dynamics and Cognitive Dynamics 

Ontodynamics, within the context of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) developed by John Onimisi Obidi, refers to a theoretical framework where entropy is elevated from a mere statistical measure of disorder to a fundamental, dynamic, "ontic" field that acts as the primary substrate of physical reality. In this view, existence (Being) is defined as the persistence of entropic gradients within finite bounds, while change and motion (Becoming) constitute the continuous, irreversible redistribution of entropy. 

Here are the key aspects of Ontodynamics within the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): 

• Entropy as a Primary Field: Unlike conventional physics, where entropy is a derivative property of matter and energy, ToE posits that the entropy field
  

  $S\left(x\right)$
  is the underlying mechanism from which spacetime, gravitation, and matter emerge.
• Ontic vs. Epistemic: ToE asserts that entropy is an ontic quantity—a real, physical field—rather than merely an epistemic measure of uncertainty.
• The Obidi Action: Ontodynamics is guided by a variational principle known as the Obidi Action, which determines how the entropic field optimizes its flow.
• Emergent Gravity and Motion: Gravity is not considered a fundamental force, but rather an emergent phenomenon arising from the statistical tendency of the entropic field to maximize entropy, causing matter to move towards regions of higher entropy density.
• The No-Rush Theorem: This principle states that physical interactions take a non-zero time for the entropic field to reorganize, setting a finite bound on causality and defining the speed of light as the maximum rate of entropic rearrangement.
• Triadic Information Geometry: The theory connects the physical, informational, and geometric aspects of the universe using a combination of the Fisher-Rao metric (classical), Fubini-Study metric (quantum), and Amari–Čencov

  -connections, which encode the irreversible flow of entropy.
• Entropology: ToE introduces this term to describe the physics of knowing, where consciousness and perception are considered specialized forms of entropic negotiation. 

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) is a recent (late 2025) theoretical proposal aiming to unify thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and relativity by centering all physical laws on the dynamic, ontic field of entropy.

In the Theory of Entropicity (ToE), developed by John Onimisi Obidi, Ontodynamics refers to the study of existence itself as a manifestation of entropic motion. 

Unlike classical physics, where entropy is a secondary statistical measure, Ontodynamics posits that entropy is the primary "ontic" field—a physical substrate whose continuous flow and gradients generate reality. 

Core Principles of Ontodynamics

• Being vs. Becoming: Existence (Being) is defined as the persistence of entropic gradients within finite bounds, while transformation (Becoming) is the irreversible redistribution of entropy across the field.
• Emergent Reality: Physical phenomena such as motion, gravity, and even spacetime are not fundamental. They emerge from the dynamic structure and "curvature" of the entropic field.
• The Obidi Action: The fundamental dynamical principle of the universe is a variational principle called the Obidi Action. It governs how the entropic field reorganizes itself, determining the evolution of all physical systems.
• Finite Propagation: All change is subject to the No-Rush Theorem, which states that the entropic field cannot reorganize instantaneously. This dictates the universal speed limit (c) and the fundamental arrow of time. 

Distinctive Features

• Ontic Status: In ToE, entropy is an "ontic" quantity (a real, physical field), contrasting with Ariel Caticha’s Entropic Dynamics, which treats entropy as an "epistemic" quantity (a measure of uncertainty).
• Entropology: The theory extends Ontodynamics into epistemology, suggesting a new field called Entropology—the physics of knowing—where consciousness (or cognition) is viewed as a specialized form of entropic negotiation.
