INFORMATIONAL GRAVITY AND MODAL DISCIPLINE: A Critical–Propositional Confrontation Between Marc Schena's Scalar–Tensor–Quantum Formulation and the Theory of Objectivity

This article presents a critical–propositional confrontation between Marc Schena’s informational gravity framework and the Theory of Objectivity (TO), developed by Vidamor Cabannas and Denivaldo Silva. Focusing on Schena’s proposal of an entropic-informational scalar field, \kappa(x,t), coupled to curvature through the factor e^{-\kappa}, the study examines both the conceptual fertility and the ontological limits of this model when read in light of TO’s modal axioms, cosmogonic theorem, phenomenic table, and inductive effects. The paper argues that Schena’s work is philosophically relevant and physically suggestive because it restores information, entropy, and relational mediation to the center of gravitational intelligibility. At the same time, it maintains that the model remains ontologically insufficient when confronted with the modal discipline of the Theory of Objectivity. From a TO-based perspective, the field \kappa is reinterpreted not as the ultimate ground of reality, but as a regional formalization of inductive effects, relational memories, and informational surpluses produced in atomic and radiative relations. The article concludes by proposing that Schena’s framework may be critically incorporated as a late phenomenology of cosmological structuring, subordinate to the deeper modal and cosmogonic architecture of TO.
