The Foundational Philosophy Behind John Onimisi Obidi's Formulation of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE)

This paper presents the foundational philosophical and theoretical architecture of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE), formulated by John Onimisi Obidi, which posits entropy as the fundamental field and causal substrate of physical reality. Rather than treating spacetime, gravity, quantum behavior, and cosmological structure as primitive givens, ToE derives them as emergent consequences of a dynamic entropic manifold governed by distinguishability, curvature, and informational flow. The work advances a unified entropic ontology that dissolves the long‑standing incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics by re‑anchoring both within a single informational substrate. Through the Obidi Action, the Obidi Curvature Invariant, and the dual quantization architecture of distinguishability and dynamical entropic action, the theory reconstructs the foundations of physics from first principles. This abstract outlines the philosophical motivations, the ontological commitments, and the structural innovations that position ToE as a comprehensive entropic reformulation of fundamental physics. § I An Introduction to John Onimisi Obidi's Philosophy The philosophy behind John Onimisi Obidi's formulation of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) centers around the idea that entropy is the fundamental field and causal substrate of physical reality. Obidi's approach is not just a technical shift but a philosophical one, demanding the confidence to question the ontological commitments of modern physics. In this sense, ToE is conceived not merely as a new model within existing paradigms, but as a re-foundation of those paradigms on an explicitly entropic basis, where informational and entropic structure precede and generate the familiar kinematic and dynamic structures of conventional theories.
