Abstract

This paper investigates the application of entropy-based frameworks to cosmology by extending the concept of entropy beyond its thermodynamic definition to include informational contributions. We introduce a novel ’information fluid’, whose dynamics are described by a Chaplygin gas equation of state, providing a unified description of dark matter and dark energy.
