Entropic Unification: A Coherence-Driven Reformulation of Force Evolution and the Emergence of Gravity

Abstract

Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) have traditionally aimed to combine the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces by identifying a very high-energy scale where their behaviors align. This method relies heavily on the idea of restored symmetries, supersymmetry, and finely tuned parameters. However, experiments have not yet found evidence for supersymmetry, and the predicted convergence of forces remains uncertain without adding speculative elements. Our approach takes a different path. Instead of assuming that all forces become the same at high energies, we propose that they evolve together through a shared process governed by the principles of thermodynamics and information theory. Rather than aiming for a single convergence point, we see unification as a synchronized pattern of change that maintains consistent relationships across different energy scales. This new model aims to address key problems in traditional unification theories by: -Avoiding reliance on hypothetical fields -Replacing symmetry-based reasoning with scaling based on entropy -Providing testable predictions in areas such as quantum information, gravitational waves, and particle collisions By framing the evolution of physical forces in terms of coherence—how accessible or ordered a system is—this approach offers a potential bridge between quantum mechanics and classical gravity, moving away from symmetry-based models toward a more thermodynamically grounded perspective.
