Gravity as Information Latency: The Entropic Origin of Time Dilation

Abstract

General Relativity describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime geometry, where timedilation is a geometric consequence of the metric. In this paper, we propose an alternativeinformation-theoretic interpretation within the Entanglement-Driven Cosmological Expan-sion (EDCE) framework. We posit that the vacuum possesses a finite information processingbandwidth (the Bekenstein bound). As matter (information density) accumulates, the local“saturation” of the vacuum increases. We identify this saturation as Entropic Latency.We derive a relationship where time dilation is not geometric stretching, but computationallatency: the update rate of the local state slows down as the available bandwidth approachessaturation. This model reproduces the Schwarzschild metric exactly but offers a novel res-olution to the black hole singularity problem: at the event horizon, the system does notencounter infinite curvature, but rather a “Computational Halt” where the processing speeddrops to zero.
