Abstract

This work proposes an alternative framework based on Unified Entropic Dynamics (UED): dark matter is not composed of hidden particles, but instead arises as the gravitational manifestation of accumulated irreversibility encoded in a scalar entropy field S(x). In this view, dark matter represents stored entropic memory of past dynamical evolution including mergers, turbulence, shock dissipation, and non-equilibrium structure formation.
