Proposing an "Entropic Standard" Tracking Framework: A Regionally Standardized Measurement System Anchored on High-Frequency Physical Sampling and Mapping Protocols

Abstract

Reviewing the evolution of classical physics and modern economics, all macroeconomic symbols and economic tools invented by humankind in the past (such as fiat currency and GDP) are essentially merely limited fittings to objective reality and "symbolic hallucinations." The previous work, The Entropy Standard: The Biosphere Fluid, Time Ledgers, and the Physical Limits of Civilization, starts from the first principles of thermodynamics and information theory, redefining human society as a "colloidal fluid" dissipative structure on the Earth's surface. It points out that traditional economics, having long been confined to lagging and subjective statistical reports, has driven modern society into terminal crises known as "Mechanization Blockade Disease" and "Complexity Parasitism". To address this, this proposal constructs the "Entropy Standard" economic physics tracking framework. In its underlying logic, this framework resolutely rejects the creation of unchanging, metaphysical absolute physical prototypes or "axioms." This is because social systems differ from the rigid, lifeless matter studied in classical physics; human civilization is a highly non-equilibrium, viscoelastic, and time-evolving complex fluid system. No static axiom or closed formula can lock down the truth once and for all; instead, they would simply devolve into dogma. Therefore, this framework instead embraces high-frequency, large-scale physical-level sampling protocols—sinking the sampling base directly to distributed physical edges (such as smart grid total loads, API call timestamps, and supply chain logistics). By continuously expanding the spatial sampling scope and increasing the temporal sampling frequency, it captures the system's true internal resistance and waste heat loss in real time, thereby endowing the dashboard with self-correcting and adaptive capabilities. Regarding the specific measurement methodology, this framework references the developmental trajectory of classical physics measurement history from "local crudeness" to "fundamental constants and absolute benchmarks," achieving hard-core tracking through two core measurement objects and quantitative mapping equations: Physical Stripping of the Social Total Time Ledger: Utilizing high-frequency timestamps and information-energy interfaces, the waking time of carbon-based individuals is objectively sliced to distinguish between effective working time (which genuinely extracts negative entropy from the physical world) and complexity overhead (which is swallowed by red tape). Circuitry Mapping of Negentropic Energy and System Internal Resistance: Introducing macro Ohm's law and the Joule heat formula, this approach discards illusory monetary prices and directly anchors to physical Joules and the basal metabolic energy level baseline. Through the dynamic tracking of waste heat loss and the establishment of a critical thermal breakdown criterion, it transforms metaphysical economic crises into physical phase-transition processes that can be warned in advance using mathematical integration.
