Entropy, Information & the Arrow of Time in the Monadic Electron Universe
The study links entropy growth, time-irreversibility, and quantum entanglement to the topology of a single electron–positron world-line (“the monad”) that knots and links through space-time. A topological entropy S_topo is defined as the Boltzmann constant times the logarithm of the path-integral weight Omega(K) for each knot or link class K.openaire +1 more source
Unified Framework of the Arrow of Time and Entropy Flow in Rigid Fractal Structures
This paper proposes a novel model of the nature of time, positing that time is a dynamic manifestation embedded within rigid fractal geometry. Based on this model, the directionality of time (the arrow of time) and the flow of entropy (the second law of thermodynamics) are unified as natural outcomes of recursive dynamics in fractal geometry.ZHOU, changzheng, ZHOU, ziqing

Timeless Quanta: A Threshold for Mass, Entropy, and the Arrow of Time
This paper presents the Timeless Quanta (TQ) framework, a novel theoretical model proposing that mass, entropy, and the direction of time emerge from a universal curvature threshold (Θc\Theta_cΘc) in spacetime. The framework models quantized collapse shells with a hybrid Gaussian-exponential profile, calibrated solely to the proton mass (rc=0.423 fmr_copenaire +1 more source
The Impossibility of Entropy Reversal: Energy Dispersion and the Arrow of Time
This paper offers a rigorous physical analysis of entropy, challenging common misconceptions that equate it with disorder or statistical abstraction. It argues that entropy is best understood as the irreversible dispersal of usable energy, governed by geometric principles and radiative loss.openaire +1 more source
The Arrow of Time under The Mapping model between time set and entropy set
AbstractThis paper introduces a discrete ontological framework that unifies spatial quantization with thermodynamic principles to redefine the temporal evolution of the universe. By proposing the Space Elementary Quantum (SEQ) as the fundamental constituent of spacetime, we establish three novel mathematical constructs: (1) a 3D structural matrix ...openaire +1 more source
Emergence of the Cosmological Arrow of Time from Ultra–Low Entropy Boundary Conditions
This study presents a high-resolution reconstruction of the cosmological arrow of time beginning at 10⁻¹⁰ years after the origin of the universe. Using ultra-low-entropy boundary conditions, near-false-vacuum initial states, and full relativistic field dynamics, the simulation tracks entropy growth, symmetry-breaking transitions, curvature evolution ...openaire +1 more source
Gödel's Informational Residue: A Foundational Origin of Entropy and the Arrow of Time
This paper reframes Gödel’s incompleteness phenomena as part of a broader structure of irreversible information. It argues that every act of resolving uncertainty—whether in logic, scientific inquiry, or cognition—requires erasing alternative possibilities, and that erasure carries an objective thermodynamic cost.openaire +1 more source
Rethinking Spacetime and Time: Information Processing, Dynamic Generation, and the Arrow of Entropy
This paper introduces a conceptual framework exploring the nature of spacetime and time from an information-theoretic perspective. We propose two interconnected hypotheses: the 'Gravity Level (G) Field Framework', where a scalar field G represents local information density or complexity regulating physical interactions and propagation speed c(G); and ...openaire +1 more source
