Information-Driven Gravity: A Unified Framework Resolving Cosmological Tensions

We introduce an information-driven scalar–tensor theory of gravity in which spacetime curvature couples to a fundamental information density field. The framework modifies Einstein gravity in the weak-field and cosmological regimes while remaining screened in high-density environments via a chameleon mechanism. An early dark energy (EDE) component emerges naturally from the information potential, altering pre-recombination dynamics.
