A Dark Energy Hypothesis III

The subject is the thermodynamics of dark energy. Thermodynamically, the ratio of dark energy to CMR temperature has the units of entropy, has a well-defined numerical value at every moment of cosmological history, and increases in time monotonically without limit. The proposal is that it is the cosmological entropy, aka dark entropy. Discussion compares it to other notions of entropy. Dark entropy is a necessary prelude to DEH IV, which is about the thermodynamics of dark matter.
