Energy-Flow Cosmology (EFC-v2.1): Unified Thermodynamic Framework across Structure, Dynamics, and Cognition

<p dir="ltr"><b>Energy-Flow Cosmology (EFC v2.1)</b> is a unified thermodynamic framework in which a continuous energy–entropy flow field generates the structure, dynamics, and cognition of the Universe.<br>Matter, spacetime, and awareness are treated as localized modes of an underlying energy-flow continuum operating between two thermodynamic boundaries: <b>S = 0</b> (perfect order, the Singularity) and <b>S = 1</b> (maximal entropy, the Altular limit).</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">The <b>Complete Edition (v2A)</b> consolidates all DOI-anchored modules published between 2024 and 2025 into one coherent reference:<br>EFC-S (Grid–Higgs / Halo Model of Entropy),<br>EFC-D (Field Equations for Entropy-Driven Spacetime),<br>EFC-C (CEM-Cosmos — Cognitive Thermodynamics),<br>EFI (Energy-Flow Interface / CDVC), and the newly formalized <b>Intelligence–Matter Exchange (IMX)</b> appendix.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">EFC replaces the dark-sector assumptions of ΛCDM with a falsifiable, energy-driven cosmology governed by continuous thermodynamic symmetry:<br>order ↔ flow ↔ entropy ↔ awareness.</p><p dir="ltr"><br>The new IMX field equation introduces a dynamic coupling between informational and energetic flow, bridging biological and artificial systems through a shared thermodynamic principle.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">Validated against current datasets (Planck, JWST, DESI, Euclid, LIGO), the model predicts measurable signatures in CMB anisotropies, H₀ tension, and gravitational lensing without invoking dark matter or dark energy.</p><p dir="ltr">EFC v2.1 thus provides a reproducible, cross-disciplinary framework linking physics, thermodynamics, and cognition within a single, continuous energy-flow field.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p>
