A Unified Alternative to Dark Matter & Dark Energy Executive Summary 25-Paper Series (2025-2026)

Abstract

The Standard Model of Cosmology (ΛCDM) currently faces severe tensions: the Hubble Tension, the S8 tension, the JWST ”Impossible Galaxies,” and the nature of the Dark Sector itself. Over a comprehensive 25-paper series, the EDCE framework proposes a single unification: that Gravity and Dark Energy are emergent thermodynamic responses to the processing of quantum information (entropy). This document summarizes the observational validation of the framework against DESI DR2, Pantheon+, SPARC, Gaia, and Planck datasets.
