A Model for Frequency-Dependent Negentropic Gravity: Astrophysical Signatures of a Dynamic Coherence Field

Authors/Creators

Description

 I propose a modification to the Einstein Field Equations based on the postulate that
the quantum informational state of matter, or its negentropy, is sourced by a dynamic scalar
field—the Coherence Field. I have theorized that this field's coupling to spacetime curvature,
represented by the constant \kappa, is not a fundamental constant but is instead
frequency-dependent, \kappa(f). This single hypothesis elegantly resolves a major theoretical
paradox while preserving the successes of General Relativity in static or low-frequency regimes.
In this framework, \kappa(f) \approx 0 for static phenomena, yielding predictions for gravitational
lensing and black hole shadows that are identical to General Relativity, in agreement with
current observations. However, in high-frequency, dynamic events such as a compact binary
merger, \kappa(f) becomes significant, leading to a cascade of new, testable predictions.
Through a suite of high-fidelity numerical simulations, I demonstrate three such signatures: (1)
the generation of a composite gravitational waveform containing both tensor and scalar
components, (2) an accelerated rate of binary inspiral due to an additional scalar energy-loss
channel, and (3) a unique distortion of the post-merger black hole ringdown "chord," where
high-frequency Quasi-Normal Modes are preferentially damped. This model of
Frequency-Dependent Negentropic Gravity offers a comprehensive and falsifiable framework
that is consistent with all known observations while providing a rich new phenomenology for
gravitational wave astronomy.
