This paper introduces Informational Entropic Gravity (IEG), an emergent formulation in which Newton’s gravitational constant G is expressed as a structural consequence of structured quantum information rather than being postulated as a fundamental parameter. Gravity is interpreted as a macroscopic equilibrium state arising from irreversible informational entropy distributed across holographic boundaries. By unifying entropy–information relations, black hole thermodynamics, and an informational coupling associated with mass generation, a closed-form expression for G is obtained in terms of known physical constants, without assuming G a priori or introducing arbitrary scaling factors. The resulting formulation is dimensionally consistent and establishes an informational basis linking mass, entropy, curvature, and gravitational coupling through scale-invariant relations. Informational entropy gradients naturally generate spacetime curvature, while collapse-driven entropy injection provides a dynamical mechanism for gravitational interaction, such that gravity emerges as a statistical equilibrium over informational degrees of freedom rather than as a fundamental force. The derivation is standalone and evaluable on its own terms, while being motivated by broader informational and entropic approaches to spacetime. IEG further identifies empirically accessible regimes in which departures from strict gravitational universality may arise as configurational entropy approaches minimal thresholds, offering potential observational discriminants independent of dark matter or dark energy placeholders.
