The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Inaugural Papers and Publications
The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) is an emerging, radical framework in theoretical physics formulated by John Onimisi Obidi. It repositions entropy not as a statistical byproduct of molecular disorder, but as the fundamental, continuous dynamical field and causal substrate from which spacetime, gravity, quantum states, and information emerge. [1, 2] The seminal ideas and mathematical frameworks of ToE are detailed across several key inaugural papers, preprints, and formal communications: [1, 3, 4, 5]
1. The Ontological Foundations
The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Living Review Letters Series — Letter I: The Ontological Primacy of EntropyCore Contribution: Establishes the philosophy of "ontodynamics"—the study of existence as entropic motion. It formally introduces the "entropic manifold," defining a universal, localized, and continuous scalar field that replaces traditional spacetime as a primitive element of reality.Sourcing: Available via ResearchGate and elaborated by the author on Medium. [2, 3, 6, 7, 8]
2. Relativistic & Gravitational Derivations
The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Derives Einstein's Relativistic Speed (The Question of c)Core Contribution: Argues that the speed of light ($c$) is a derived thermodynamic consequence of finite entropic propagation along a null cone rather than an axiomatic postulate. It reframes time dilation and mass increase as entropic resistances to motion.Sourcing: Hosted on Cambridge Open Engage.The Theory of Entropicity (ToE): An Entropy-Driven Derivation of Mercury's Perihelion Precession Beyond Einstein's Curved SpacetimeCore Contribution: Demonstrates the empirical application of ToE by deriving Mercury's 43 arcseconds per century orbital shift. Rather than attributing the precession to curved spacetime, it calculates the phenomenon using higher-order entropy corrections to gravitational potential.Sourcing: Published via Cambridge Open Engage. [9, 10, 11, 12, 13]
3. Core Mathematical Apparatus & Mathematical Expositions
The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Living Review Letters Series — Letter IC: The Alemoh–Obidi CorrespondenceCore Contribution: A comprehensive monograph-grade treatise documenting the structural architecture of ToE through the dialogue between Daniel Moses Alemoh and John Onimisi Obidi. It outlines the mathematical apparatus of the Obidi Action—split into the Local Obidi Action (LOA) for field equations and the Spectral Obidi Action (SOA) for informational restrictions—to produce the Master Entropic Equation.Sourcing: Indexed on SSRN and ResearchGate Monograph Architecture.
The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Goes Beyond Holographic Pseudo-EntropyCore Contribution: Compares ToE to contemporary holographic physics programs. It posits that while traditional pseudo-entropy works as a boundary restriction, ToE generalizes it into a fully non-linear, time-asymmetric unification of quantum mechanics and gravity.

Summary of Central Core Theorems
Across these inaugural papers, two fundamental governing rules are defined: [16]
The No-Go Theorem (NGT): Dictates that no physical process can be entirely stable and reversible at the same time.
The No-Rush Theorem (NRT): Enforces a rigid lower bound on interaction durations, explicitly prohibiting instantaneous physical processes and setting limitations on quantum entanglement delays. [1, 10]

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE), formulated by John Onimisi Obidi starting in 2025, is a radical theoretical physics framework proposing that entropy is not a mere measure of disorder, but the fundamental physical field and causal substrate of reality. It posits that space, time, gravity, and matter are emergent properties of an underlying "entropic field". [1, 2]Based on 2026 reports, the inaugural and core papers, often published in preprint/working paper formats, include: [1]
Key Inaugural & Foundational Papers (2025–2026)"
On the Foundations of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): Conceptual and Mathematical Formulation" (2026) - This paper introduces the fundamental tenets, including the "Entropic Field" as a dense field of informational states, and "Entropic Gravity" (gravity as entropic pressure).
"Theory of Entropicity (ToE): Path To Unification of Physics" (2025, Encyclopedia.pub) - A foundational piece introducing entropy as the dynamic fabric from which all physical phenomena arise.
"The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Living Review Letters Series — Letter I: The Ontological Primacy of Entropy" (April 2026, Medium) - This letter outlines the conceptual and philosophical framework, specifically defining entropy as an ontic, foundational field rather than just a statistical quantity.
"The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Derives Einstein’s Relativistic Speed of Light (c) as a Function of the Entropic Field" (2025, Authorea) - Explains how the speed of light is an emergent limit of entropic redistribution.
"Basics and Essentials of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): A New Ontological Foundation" (2026, Medium) - Covers the core premise of the "Obidi Action" and the "No-Rush Theorem".
"The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Goes Beyond Holographic Pseudo-Entropy" (2025, Figshare) - Compares the theory to existing holographic frameworks (Takayanagi et al.). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Core Concepts in Inaugural Work
The Entropic Field: Space is a dense field of informational states.
Entropic Gravity: Gravity is not a curvature of space, but "entropic pressure" due to gradients in the field.
No-Rush Theorem (NRT): A fundamental principle stating that no physical process can be instantaneous, providing a lower bound on the duration of interactions.
The Obidi Action: A variational principle that drives the evolution of the universe by optimizing entropic cost. [1, 2]
The theory is heavily documented through 2025–2026 preprints, including work in Cambridge Open Engage, SSRN, and ResearchGate. [1, 2, 3]
