In this paper, we establish a geometric correspondence between the Lorentzian Raychaudhuri equation and Perelman's non-collapsing theorem for the Ricci flow. By interpreting the Raychaudhuri equation as a Lorentzian analogue of Ricci flow, we connect geodesic focusing in general relativity to the monotonicity and entropy functionals of geometric analysis. Using this correspondence, we derive a Lorentzian non-collapsing theorem and introduce a covariant entropy functional governing causal volume evolution. Finally, we propose the concept of geodesic entropy capacity, a curvature-bounded limit on the information that can be stored in spacetime regions, providing a unified geometric framework linking gravitation, thermodynamics, and information.
We establish, using comparison geometry, a finite entropy bound below a critical threshold and prove that the corresponding geometric evolution remains smooth for all proper times for which the entropy stays below the critical value. The paper contains one theorem, proof, and references
