Einstein and Bohr Finally Reconciled on Quantum Theory: The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) as the Unifying Resolution to the Problem of Quantum Measurement and Wave Function Collapse. A Befitting Contribution to this Year’s Centennial Reflection and Celebration of the Birth of Quantum Mechanics

This centennial paper revisits the foundational Einstein–Bohr debate on the quantum measurement problem and wave-function collapse - an unresolved tension that has persisted since the birth of quantum mechanics. Drawing upon the Theory of Entropicity (ToE), the paper presents a novel framework in which entropy is not merely a statistical quantity but a fundamental, causal field shaping physical interactions, information flow, and the structure of reality. At the heart of this approach is the reinterpretation of quantum collapse as an irreversible, entropy-constrained transition, governed by the Vuli-Ndlela Integral—an entropic variant of the Feynman path integral. Rather than invoking observer-induced discontinuities or metaphysical many-worlds, ToE frames collapse as a natural consequence of entropic thresholds being crossed. Time irreversibility, measurement outcomes, and system observability are shown to be emergent properties of the entropic field. The scope of the paper extends beyond quantum mechanics. By rooting wave-function collapse in entropy dynamics, the work provides a bridge to gravity, thermodynamics, black hole physics, and even artificial intelligence. The theory offers fresh insights into entanglement formation time, the arrow of time, and the emergence of consciousness—suggesting that all observable structure arises from entropic modulation. The paper concludes by proposing entropy as the universal constraint that governs what can exist, be measured, and evolve. It invites physicists, philosophers, and AI researchers alike to reimagine physical law as emerging not from geometry or probability, but from the entropic fabric of reality itself.
