Gravity as Information Latency: Deriving Time Dilation from the Holographic Limit

General Relativity describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime, yet it does not explain the underlying mechanism of why time dilates in regions of high mass. Building upon the Entanglement-Driven Cosmological Expansion (EDCE) framework, we propose that time is not a fundamental dimension but an emergent measure of the rate of entanglement spreading (decoherence). We posit that gravity is effectively the “drag” on this rate caused by local information density approaching the Bekenstein bound. In this model, time slows near massive objects because the local information processing capacity is saturated, and stops at a Black Hole event horizon because the storage density is maximized (1 bit per 4l2 P ). We support this information-theoretic definition of gravity with recent observational evidence from Pantheon+ Type Ia supernovae, which demonstrates that the universe’s expansion rate (w(z)) is dynamically coupled to its information generation rate (Star Formation History).
