Entropy as Loss of Access: The Second Law as a Ring Count, Landauer's Bound and Maxwell's Demon as Counts, and the Horizon Count that Fixes the Gravitational Coupling
- 1University of Kentucky
Abstract
The foundational architecture, geometric intuitions, and motivating philosophy of this framework originated independently with the author prior to and separate from any AI involvement. Subsequent mathematical derivation, connection to established physics literature, computational verification, and error-checking were conducted through extended technical work with AI systems (Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s Gemini). The author directed this process, evaluated and selected among proposed derivations, and takes full responsibility for the accuracy and originality of the final work.
