This preprint presents Energy-Flow Cosmology (EFC v1.2), a covariant non-equilibrium thermodynamic framework extending General Relativity. A scalar energy-flow potential Ef governs entropy-driven organization and spacetime curvature. The model reduces to GR at equilibrium and reproduces key cosmological phenomena without dark-matter or dark-energy postulates. Mathematical consistency is shown through Lyapunov stability and Bayesian no-go tests, and an explicit bridge to the Free Energy Principle establishes cross-field continuity between physics, biology, and information systems.
