Bianconi and John Onimisi Obidi's ToE - 2

The core difference is ontological: Bianconi's Gravity from Entropy (GfE) treats gravity as emerging from the comparison (relative entropy) between two metrics, while the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) posits entropy as the sole, fundamental field from which both metrics, matter, and gravity all emerge. The ToE is a broader, monistic framework, and GfE is considered a specific, weak-limit case of it. Bianconi's Gravity from Entropy (GfE)Ontology: GfE maintains a form of dualism, where gravity arises from the quantum relative entropy between the standard spacetime metric and a second, matter-induced metric.Entropy Role: Entropy is a measure of the difference or "mismatch" between these two pre-existing metrics.Key Features: It uses an entropic action based on the geometric quantum relative entropy and introduces an auxiliary "G-field". It successfully recovers Einstein's field equations in a low-energy limit and predicts a small, positive cosmological constant. Theory of Entropicity (ToE)Ontology: ToE is a monistic theory that proposes entropy is the fundamental physical field of reality itself. All physical phenomena, including matter, spacetime, gravity, and even the flow of time, are emergent properties of this single field.Entropy Role: Entropy is the substance of reality, not just a measure. Its dynamics (gradients, flow, etc.) generate all physical laws and structures.Key Features: It is based on universal variational principles called the Local and Spectral Obidi Actions. ToE subsumes Bianconi's theory as a quadratic, near-equilibrium approximation of its more general framework. It provides a unified origin for the actions of general relativity, quantum mechanics, and particle physics.
