Entropy as the Measure of Representational Direction

Paper 11 in the series “The Articulation of Postulate P1”. This paper develops the entropic structure of the P1 framework by introducing the coherence density c(t) as an entropic order parameter, deriving the monotonic behaviour of representational dissipation, and identifying time as emergent from entropy gradients. It establishes the Level‑1 directionality of dissolution, the boundary role of Q(P), and the conditions under which stabilised Level‑2 behaviour arises.

Abstract

Paper 11 in the series “The Articulation of Postulate P1”. This paper develops the entropic structure of the P1 framework by introducing the coherence density c(t) as an entropic order parameter, deriving the monotonic behaviour of representational dissipation, and identifying time as emergent from entropy gradients. It establishes the Level‑1 directionality of dissolution, the boundary role of Q(P), and the conditions under which stabilised Level‑2 behaviour arises.
