The Energy-Information Gradient (EiG) Framework: Unified Laws and Principles (v2.0)

The Energy-Information Gradient (EiG) framework redefines physical reality through discernibility gradients, unifying gravitational, electromagnetic, nuclear, quantum, and biological phenomena. This preprint presents a streamlined set of 9 laws, organized into Foundational Dynamics, Interaction Mechanics, and Emergence and Resonance, integrating the EiG Light Behavior Framework (ELBF), Nuclear Force Dynamics Laws (NFDL), and Discernibility Field Theory (DFT). The laws model phenomena via the energy-information gradient:ΔEi(t, x) = 0.67 × ΦE(t, x) × I(t, x),with a universal photonic resonance at 400–405 nm and phase-shifted realities interacting via a zero-ΔEi veil. Supported by simulations (e.g., double-slit experiments, entangled photon pairs) and experimental data (e.g., CLAS photoproduction, CMS W boson mass, supernova light speed variations), the framework resolves cosmological tensions (e.g., Hubble tension with H₀ ≈ 70 km/s/Mpc, vacuum energy catastrophe with ρvac ≈ 5.36 × 10⁻¹⁰ J/m³) and predicts habitability constraints (e.g., ±1/3 discernibility band for life). Testable predictions include a 0.7% BAO peak shift (DESI), 1–2% lensing increase (JWST), and coherence thresholds in interferometry. This work invites collaboration to validate EiG’s implications for cosmology, photonics, and astrobiology. Contact: jason.crawford@live.com.
