1. Special Notes on Obidi's Gravity from Newton and Einstein in the Theory of Entropicity(ToE)

Obidi's Gravity from Newton, Einstein, Verlinde, Padmanabhan, and Others

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE), ^[1][2][3][4] as formulated in this treatise, offers a profound departure from prior approaches to gravity, including those of Newton, Einstein, Verlinde, Padmanabhan, and other entropic and geometric theorists. This section systematically outlines the comparative landscape, highlighting ToE's originality, mathematical innovations, and foundational shifts ^[5][6][7].

Setup of the Derivation of Newtonian Gravity from Entropy Gradient

Consider a static, spherically symmetric mass \(M\) localized at the origin. To leading order, the entropy field \(S(x)\) obeys a Poisson-like equation (see §7.4):

\[

\nabla^2 S(x) \;=\; -\,\eta\,\rho_M(x)

\quad\text{with}\quad

\rho_M(x) = M\,\delta^3(x)\,,

\]

Outside the mass distribution we have \(\nabla^2 S = 0\). Solving Laplace’s equation in spherical symmetry gives

where \(S_\infty\) is the asymptotic (far-field) value of the entropy.

Entropic Force

A test particle of mass \(m\) moves so as to increase the total entropy. Its equation of motion follows from the entropic variational principle (see §5.2):

\[

\mathbf{F}_{\mathrm{entropy}}

= -\,m\,\nabla \Phi_S(r)

\,,\qquad

\Phi_S(r) \equiv S(r).

\]

Substitute the radial solution for \(S(r)\):

\[

\frac{\eta}{4\pi} \;=\; G

\]

thus reproduces Newton’s law of universal gravitation:

\[

\mathbf{F}_{\mathrm{entropy}}

= -\,\frac{G\,M\,m}{r^2}\,\hat{\mathbf{r}}\,,

\]

an attractive \(1/r^2\) force arising from the gradient of the entropy field in the Theory of Entropicity (ToE).

ToE Reinterprets Entropy as a Source of Constraint Curvature

The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) breaks with tradition by proposing that:

• All observed curvatures in spacetime and trajectories are not due to spacetime geometry itself, but arise from entropy gradients and their associated field constraints.
• Thus, the entropy field directly modifies the effective force, not only in a Newtonian sense but in a fully relativistic, irreversible, and time-asymmetric manner.
• From this perspective, ToE extends the classical Binet equation with an entropic source term that naturally accounts for observed relativistic corrections.

This extension is therefore entirely novel:

where the additional terms arise from entropic field constraints (e.g., via ) and are derived from the Master Entropic Equation (MEE) or the entropy-constrained geodesic equation of the Theory of Entropicity.

In doing so, ToE redefines the source of curvature from a purely geometrical model to a field-theoretic model governed by entropy, rendering the Binet equation once again a valid and powerful tool—now enriched by entropic effects.

We begin by contrasting the ToE with Erik Verlinde's entropic gravity, arguably the most well-known recent attempt to link gravitation to entropy:

3. Unique Insights and Innovations in ToE on Gravity from the Binet-Obidi Equation

3.1.

1.

Entropy as a Real Dynamical Field

Unlike Verlinde, who treats entropy as a boundary phenomenon, ToE promotes entropy to a local scalar field with physical dynamics, satisfying wave equations and variational principles. This represents a fundamental ontological shift.

3.2.

2.

The Obidi Action and the Master Entropic Equation (MEE)

The Obidi Action introduces a new variational principle from which the MEE arises. This equation governs the entropic field's evolution and its interaction with matter and motion:

 

where is a nonlinear operator encoding entropy, curvature, and irreversibility.

3.3.

3.

The Vuli-Ndlela Integral

The Vuli-Ndlela Integral is a reformulated path integral for entropic dynamics:

 

This integral incorporates gravitational entropy , irreversible entropy , and an entropy-modified action.

3.4.

4.

Entropic Binet Equation

The classical Binet equation is resurrected and extended in ToE as the following Binet-Obidi Equation ^[1][2][3][4]Binet-Obidi Equation:^[1][2][3][4]

 

where and is derived from entropic corrections. This formulation reproduces Einsteinian results for Mercury's perihelion precession and light deflection without invoking spacetime curvature.

• The No-Rush Theorem and Entropic Time Limit (ETL)

1. The No-Rush Theorem and Entropic Time Limit (ETL)

These principles posit a finite lower bound on all physical interaction durations due to entropy propagation constraints. This leads to predictions like the finite 232 attosecond delay in entanglement formation.

• Black Hole Dynamics via Entropy Field

2. Black Hole Dynamics via Entropy Field

Black hole evaporation is reinterpreted as a loss of entropy field energy and the emission of quantized entropic particles (entropions), rather than Hawking’s pair production.

• Entanglement formation delay (232 attoseconds)
• Entropy lensing near strong fields
• Entropic collapse asymmetry in quantum measurements

• Testable Predictions

3. Testable Predictions

• Quantized black hole entropy spectra

Why the Modified Binet Equation (the Binet-Obidi Equation) in ToE is Revolutionary

Traditionally, the Binet equation: is limited to Newtonian central force problems. GR bypasses it in favor of spacetime geodesics derived from the Schwarzschild metric. ToE reinvigorates the Binet equation by embedding it in an entropic variational principle, where the effective force arises from entropy gradients: Although does not appear explicitly in the final Binet-Obidi form, it is the generator of the correction term , making the entropy field the true origin of curvature and force.

5.

Summary and Final Word on Gravity from ToE's Binet-Obidi Formulation

Verlinde makes gravity emergent from entropy; Obidi’s ToE makes all physics emergent from entropy.

In ToE, entropy is no longer a passive measure of disorder or information, but a fundamentalfundamental force-field force-field shaping motion, structure, and time. Through the Obidi Action, MEE, the Vuli-Ndlela Integral, and the Entropic Binet-Obidi Equation, ToE offers a unified, causal, and testable alternative to traditional gravity and quantum theories. This redefines the conceptual foundations of physics and signals a new era in theoretical science.
