Entropic Framework: Bridging Quantum Mechanics and Cosmology Through Survival-Driven Entropy

Abstract

We all need peace, security, and stability. We all need peace, security, and stability. We all need peace, security, and stability. Нам потрібен Мир! Ми за Мир!! МИР!!! This publication presents two interconnected works that develop the Unified Entropic Framework — an effective theoretical approach in which entropy generated by oppositions is explored as a possible organizing principle linking different scales of physical and adaptive reality. The first part establishes the conceptual foundation. It integrates four directions: Guided Symbiosis Theory (system adaptation through survival-driven dynamics), Useful Chaos (resilience and stabilization in complex systems), Entropic General Relativity (where the cosmological term is treated as entropy-dependent), and an entropic interpretation of quantum measurement. Within this perspective, nonlocality is interpreted not as a paradox but as an effective global adjustment of entropic correlations revealed during measurement. The second part proposes an effective extension of the Schrödinger framework — the Entropic Schrödinger Equation — introducing additional terms intended to model survival dynamics and adaptive entropy processes while remaining consistent with the standard quantum limit. The proposed concept is not a complete microscopic theory. Instead, it defines a research direction aimed at identifying invariant entropic structures that connect information, adaptation, and physical dynamics across different scales. The work serves as a conceptual foundation for further mathematical development, phenomenological modeling, and potential empirical investigation. P.S. I remain an independent researcher. I invite you to support this project in order to accelerate the release of future parts and the further development of this architecture. Your contribution helps ensure the independence of these results.

The Total Entropic Quantity Framework: A Conceptual Foundation for Entropy, Time, and Physical Evolution

David Sigtermans

The Total Entropic Quantity (TEQ) framework derives quantum mechanics from entropy-driven selection principles, unifying entropy, emergent time, and thermodynamic evolution. TEQ decomposes total entropy into realized entropy (macroscopic disorder), latent entangled entropy (quantum correlations), and latent classical entropy (stable classical correlations), clarifying how classical irreversibility emerges from global quantum coherence. A key result is Universal Entropic Time (UET), a synchronized temporal structure governed by realized entropy growth. UET aligns the thermodynamic arrow of time with cosmological evolution, linking decoherence to macroscopic irreversibility. TEQ provides a unified epistemic and ontological perspective on quantum measurement, reconciling the Copenhagen and Many-Worlds interpretations as complementary descriptions of a single entropy-driven selection mechanism. Additionally, entropy minimization explains the stability of quantum systems such as Majorana qubits, while entropy gradients suggest a mechanism for spacetime emergence and causal order. Entropy redistribution in TEQ acts as an active selection principle, stabilizing preferred trajectories while suppressing unstable quantum states. Future work will develop an entropy-weighted variational principle to formalize path selection in TEQ, aiming to derive quantum dynamics---including the Born rule, wavefunction suppression, and the Schrödinger equation---from entropic constraints. This approach is expected to clarify how path weights relate to entropy redistribution and selection, offering a thermodynamic basis for quantization. Notably, TEQ makes its first concrete prediction: Majorana qubits should exhibit extended coherence times due to suppressed entropy redistribution, offering an experimentally testable signature of the framework.

The Total Entropic Quantity Framework: A Conceptual Foundation for Entropy, Time, and Physical Evolution

David Sigtermans

The Total Entropic Quantity (TEQ) framework derives quantum mechanics from entropy-driven selection principles, unifying entropy, emergent time, and thermodynamic evolution. TEQ decomposes total entropy into realized entropy (macroscopic disorder), latent entangled entropy (quantum correlations), and latent classical entropy (stable classical records), clarifying how classical irreversibility arises from global quantum coherence. A central result is \textit{Universal Entropic Time} (UET), defined by the monotonic growth of realized entropy. UET aligns the thermodynamic arrow of time with cosmological expansion, linking decoherence to macroscopic irreversibility. TEQ offers a unified epistemic-ontological interpretation of measurement, reconciling the Copenhagen and Many-Worlds views as complementary facets of entropy redistribution. It also provides an entropic explanation for quantum stability---especially in Majorana qubits---and suggests that spacetime and causal structure emerge from entropy gradients.TEQ yields two testable predictions: (1) Majorana qubits should exhibit extended coherence due to suppressed entropy flow; and (2) the entropic driver \(f(\Lambda(t))\) has a unique global maximum, implying that dark energy peaked in the past---a result consistent with recent DESI observations. Future work will derive quantum dynamics from an entropy-weighted variational principle, aiming to recover the Schr\"odinger equation, the Born rule, and quantum suppression from entropic constraints.

Collapse, Selection, and the Geometry of Information

Giro-Kai Hong

This mini-monograph proposes a new variational and information-geometric framework for understanding the quantum measurement problem, with particular emphasis on the unresolved problem of outcome selection. While decoherence theory explains the suppression of interference and the emergence of stable pointer bases, it does not by itself explain why one definite outcome is realized rather than another. This work argues that the missing element is not simply an additional dynamical mechanism, but a structural principle of selection. The central thesis is that quantum measurement may be understood as a process of entropic channel selection within a structured space of admissible outcomes. Drawing on Schrödinger bridge theory, entropy-regularized optimal transport, stochastic path-space variational principles, concentration of measure, and large deviation theory, the monograph develops a framework in which collapse-like definiteness emerges through constrained probabilistic evolution. Measurement is thereby reinterpreted not as an arbitrary interruption of unitary dynamics, but as a threshold phenomenon in the geometry of information. The work introduces an informational configuration space of possible resolution channels, defines an entropic action functional over stochastic paths, and proposes a channel-selection principle based on entropy-minimizing interpolation. It further examines the relation between Schrödinger bridges and optimal transport, explores the zero-noise limit, connects the framework to path-integral intuition, and develops explicit models of Gaussian bridge dynamics and two-channel selection. The emergence of classicality is treated through exponential concentration, threshold amplification, and phase-transition-like stabilization in high-dimensional systems. The monograph does not claim to replace standard quantum mechanics. Rather, it seeks to clarify how definite outcomes might arise from variational organization within probability itself, while remaining compatible with reduced quantum dynamics, decoherence, and open-system evolution. It is intended as a conceptual and mathematical foundation for further work at the intersection of quantum foundations, stochastic processes, information geometry, and the theory of emergent classicality.

Manifesto for an Informational Observer-Centered Framework Toward a Unified Theory of Information, Observation, and Reality

Giuseppe Junior Greco

Modern physics has achieved extraordinary predictive success, yet it continues to face unresolved conceptual tensions concerning the role of the observer, the nature of information, and the origin of physical structure. From quantum measurement to cosmology, the assumption of an observer-neutral reality increasingly appears insufficient to fully account for empirical phenomena and theoretical inconsistencies. This manifesto proposes an Informational Observer-Centered Framework, in which information is treated as a fundamental ontological substrate and observation as an active, structured process rather than a passive act of measurement. Within this perspective, physical systems, observers, and informational exchanges form a unified dynamics, where state reduction, decoherence, and emergent classicality arise from informational interactions and constraints. Rather than introducing a new closed theory, this manifesto establishes a conceptual foundation unifying several complementary models—including Informational State Dynamics, observer-dependent informational compression, and informational interpretations of quantum and cosmological phenomena—into a coherent research program. The framework is explicitly non-dogmatic, open to falsification, and intended as a guiding structure for further theoretical development and empirical testing. The aim of this document is not to replace existing physical theories, but to clarify their conceptual boundaries and propose an integrative lens through which unresolved problems in quantum foundations, cosmology, and cognitive systems may be systematically explored.

Entropy as First Principle: Deriving Quantum and Gravitational Structure from Thermodynamic Geometry

David Sigtermans

This paper introduces the Total Entropic Quantity (TEQ) framework, a structural reformulation of quantum theory grounded in two foundational axioms. Axiom 0 posits entropy as a generative constraint: a geometric principle that determines which configurations can stably distinguish themselves, independent of space, time, or dynamics. Here, entropy is defined as a curvature-functional over distinguishability configurations, preserving only those patterns that remain stable under finite informational resolution---that is, structures not dissolved by coarse-graining or limited observability. Axiom 1, the Minimal Principle (MP), selects from these structures those that are maximally stable under entropy-weighted variation. From this entropic foundation, core elements of quantum theory---including the Born rule, quantization, and Schrödinger dynamics---emerge as special cases of entropy-stabilized geometry. The framework derives an entropy-weighted path integral and introduces a corrected Schrödinger equation that governs evolution in regimes of finite entropy curvature. In the high-resolution limit (\( \beta \to \infty \)), TEQ reduces to standard unitary quantum mechanics; in more general regimes, entropy flow deforms canonical dynamics, linking decoherence, dissipation, and gravitational curvature. TEQ reinterprets physical law as emergent structure within the geometry of distinguishability, rather than as imposed dynamics on a fixed spacetime background.
