Abstract

This paper asks whether we’ve been approaching quantum gravity from the wrong direction. Instead of forcing gravity into the quantum framework, I propose that quantization itself may be a byproduct of entropic gravitational geometry. Drawing inspiration from Penrose’s entropy-centric cosmology and extending it through my PREU–COM framework, I’ve formulated a model in which spacetime curvature emerges from rational entropic unfolding. This approach recovers general relativity’s predictions while reducing its ad hoc assumptions and revealing the informational foundation beneath both quantum mechanics and gravitational behavior.

1. Introduction: The Wrong Question

The history of theoretical physics is rich with attempts to unify the gravitational field with the quantum framework. From loop quantum gravity to string theory, the dominant assumption has been that gravity must be quantized in order to be reconciled with the rest of physics. But what if this effort is fundamentally misdirected?

Rather than forcing gravity into a quantum mold, I propose that the inverse may be true: quantization itself is an emergent feature of gravitational structure. Specifically, I argue that quantization arises from the curvature of informational entropy—structured tension encoded within spacetime—which only becomes measurable when resolved by thermodynamic energy.

Inspired by Penrose’s work on entropy and the Weyl curvature hypothesis, this paper introduces a framework in which the geometry of spacetime is not determined by mass energy directly, but by the rational interaction between a thermodynamic and informational entropic field unfolding. This leads us to a new field equation:

Gµν = ℶSµν

where Gµν is the Einstein curvature tensor, Sµν is the dual entropy tensor encoding both thermodynamic and informational gradients, and ℶ (Beth)is a rational coupling constant extracted from real-world data (e.g., gravitational wave event GW170817).

In this view, what we call “gravitational curvature” is just the shape taken by unfolding entropy. Gravity isn’t a force in the traditional sense—it’s the visible imprint left behind as the universe’s internal logic plays out. Quantizing gravity recreates general relativity’s shape. Gravitizing quantization, by contrast, explain...
