THE DUAL-ASYMMETRIC UNIVERSE: A UNIFIED FRAMEWORK FROM QUANTUM FOUNDATIONS TO COSMIC ACCELERATION V. 1.1

We present a fundamental unification of quantum mechanics and gen-eral relativity through the principle of Dual Asymmetry, embodied in thePasternak Dual Asymmetry (PDA) inequality, ∆Sth ≥ kB · ∥∆Sent(S)∥.Derived rigorously from unitarity and initial factorizability, this prin-ciple establishes that any local decrease in von Neumann entropy (in-formation condensation) must be paid for by a proportional increase inthermodynamic entropy. We demonstrate how this single principle re-solves central paradoxes: the quantum measurement problem reinterpretswavefunction collapse as a unitary "condensation-collapse" process; theYang-Mills mass gap emerges as the minimum energy quantum required tolocalize information from the entangled vacuum; dark energy and cosmicacceleration arise as the thermodynamic pressure in a self-regulating cos-mological engine powered by global information condensation; space-time geometry and gravitation emerge as effective descriptions of the ther-modynamic properties of the fundamental entanglement network. ThePDA inequality thus represents a Fourth Law of Thermodynamicsthat unifies microscopic quantum phenomena with macroscopic cosmicevolution.
