ZIP Theory I: An Effective Informational Framework for Emergent Gravity

This paper introduces ZIP Theory I, an effective informational framework in which gravity and spacetime structure emerge from the macroscopic dynamics of a continuous informational field. The approach is phenomenological and does not propose a new fundamental interaction or microscopic theory. Instead, it provides an informational interpretation consistent with General Relativity, thermodynamic gravity, and emergent gravity approaches. The framework naturally accommodates observed galactic dynamics without invoking additional particle species and is intended as a conceptual starting point for further developments.
