An Information–Equilibrium Account of Gravitation, Cosmic Expansion, and Black Holes

This paper proposes that gravitation, cosmic expansion, and black-hole (Hawking) radiation are three expressions of a single process: regions of space in disequilibrium resolving toward equilibrium by the most probable route available. It develops an information–equilibrium framework in which these phenomena are treated as cases of one mechanism — the resolution of disequilibrium toward the uniform spread of information throughout space. The account is advanced as a conceptual reinterpretation held to a standard of coherence, re-grounding established, observed physics in a single basis.
