An Entropic Spacetime Framework: Unifying Fundamental Physics with Emergent Complexity

The quest for a unified understanding of the cosmos necessitates novel theoretical frameworks that can reconcile General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics while explaining phenomena like dark matter and dark energy. This preprint introduces an Entropic Spacetime Framework rooted in a generalized action principle. It posits the existence of fundamental entropic scalar fields—a temporal field ($\ST$) and a spatial field ($\SSp$)—and a specific resonant coupling mechanism. We outline the framework's mathematical foundations and present compelling initial evidence for its validity: a numerical simulation that successfully reproduces the observed Milky Way rotation curve without requiring dark matter. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the framework offers an intuitive, mechanical explanation for Hawking radiation. We invite critical feedback and collaboration from the theoretical physics community to refine and further develop this promising new direction.
