Entropic Governance Framework (EGF)

What Is EGF?

The Entropic Governance Framework (EGF) provides a physics-grounded foundation for reasoning about governance, sustainability, and allocation under real physical limits.

Rather than treating sustainability as a moral slogan or a purely economic optimisation problem, EGF treats entropy as the invariant constraint on all organised systems.

EGF does not prescribe political ideologies, economic models, or institutional designs. It provides a stable reference layer beneath them — a way to make trade-offs explicit, constraints legible, and long-term viability assessable.

Scope and Intent

EGF is designed to remain coherent across:

• Different economic systems
• High automation and AI-mediated environments
• Energy transitions and technological change
• Pluralistic ethical and cultural contexts

It is intended as a reference standard, not a proprietary system or a policy platform.
