What Does Obidi's Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Say About the AdS/CFT Correspondence in Modern Theoretical Physics?

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE), formulated by John Onimisi Obidi in 2025, interprets the AdS/CFT correspondence not just as a mathematical duality, but as a direct physical manifestation of the underlying entropic field. 

According to ToE, the AdS/CFT correspondence (holography) is the consequence of the universe's informational structure being encoded on a boundary, with entropy acting as the fundamental, dynamic field from which both gravity (AdS bulk) and quantum mechanics (boundary CFT) emerge.

 

Here is what Obidi's Theory of Entropicity (ToE) says about the AdS/CFT correspondence: 

• Entropic Origin of Holography: ToE asserts that entropy is not a statistical measure of disorder but a primary, ontological, and continuous field
  

  $S\left(x\right)$
  . AdS/CFT is seen as a specific instance of "entropic holography," where the information content of a bulk region is encoded in the boundary behavior of this entropic field.
• Spacetime as Emergent Geometry: ToE suggests that the bulk spacetime (AdS) is not fundamental but is an emergent geometry—a map of entropic gradients. Gravity, in this context, is an emergent property arising from the tendency to maximize entropy, meaning the AdS side is a representation of how entropy is distributed and flows.
• The "Holographic Lift": ToE bridges the gap between quantum field theory (CFT) and gravity (AdS) by showing that the infinite, divergent entropy of a 2D/3D Quantum Field Theory (CFT) is "lifted" to a finite, area-scaled entropy in the higher-dimensional bulk.
• Redefining String Theory: ToE reinterprets strings and branes in AdS spaces as "vibrations of information" or localized, compactified configurations of the entropic field, rather than physical objects with tension.
• Entropic Temperature: A central innovation of ToE is that the informational manifold has its own intrinsic, emergent temperature, T
  

  $T_S$
  , which measures the rate at which information rearranges. This provides a new, dynamical explanation for the thermal properties of black holes described in AdS/CFT. 

In essence, Obidi's Theory of Entropicity (ToE) provides a more fundamental "bottom-up" mechanism for the AdS/CFT correspondence, arguing that all physical laws, including those in AdS/CFT, arise from the dynamics of the entropy field.
