Dissipative Entanglement and Emergent Gravity: A Non-Equilibrium Perspective on de Sitter Space and Multiverse Generation
Abstract
The assumption of a constant dark energy density leads to an apparent paradox: the total energy of the universe increases as it expands, challenging the notion of a closed system. We propose a framework where the universe is treated as a non-equilibrium system governed by dissipative entropy dynamics. By linking entropy dissipation to the evolution of the de Sitter horizon, we derive an explicit relationship between entanglement dissipation and changes in the Hubble parameter. Using insights from quantum information theory, we formalize the role of vacuum fluctuations in encoding dissipative processes, leading to a modified view of emergent gravity. Furthermore, we extend this framework to a layered multiverse model, where vacuum fluctuations in post-big-freeze universes seed the emergence of new universes. We discuss observational consequences, including modifications to the primordial power spectrum, CMB polarization, and gravitational wave signatures, which provide potential tests for this non-equilibrium framework of cosmology.
