Recursive Entropy Field Theory
Abstract
The Recursive Entropy Field Theory (REFT) presents a framework that derives physical constants and particle–field dynamics from recursive geometrical entropy in the complex plane. Fields are modeled as connected Julia sets, indexed and recognized collectively by the Mandelbrot set, while particles are represented as disconnected Julia sets that interact with fields at their boundaries. The theory links the Mandelbrot set with the Feigenbaum constants and recursive bifurcation dynamics to derive the fine-structure constant ( ) from first principles with high precision. Entropy gradients are identified as the source of classical forces, and gravity is reinterpreted as deep recursive basins of strange attractors. REFT aspires to provide deterministic explanations for phenomena traditionally treated probabilistically, including the double-slit experiment and measurement collapse. The framework unifies GR and QM under a recursive entropy paradigm and offers explicit testable predictions. While chaos mathematics and fractal geometry are well established in fields such as weather prediction and fluid dynamics, this work introduces a novel application as a candidate field theory capable of explaining observed but previously underived phenomena.
