Photon's Inherent Kinetic Energy &
Terminal Entropic Decay
A cosmological framework where photon energy is a transported mass-potential transition, existing between a Planck-scale origin and a terminal entropic residue.
The Cosmic Photon Lifecycle
In ECM, a photon is not autonomous. It carries a fixed kinetic budget from its source which decays entropically across cosmic distances. Use the slider below to traverse the universe from the Source to the Terminal Limit.
Current State
The photon is liberated from the source. Kinetic Energy is at maximum, strictly tied to the mass-potential transition ($\Delta PE \rightarrow \Delta KE$).

The Dual-Boundary Framework
ECM proposes that our observational universe exists strictly between two microscopic extremes. This framework unifies maximal gravitational order with maximal entropic degeneration.
Planck-Scale Boundary
Maximal Order & Energy
- ● Highest Density: The lower limit of existence characterized by ultra-gravitational structuring.
- ● Maximal Coherence: Represents the state of maximum frequency and mass-form concentration.
- ● Origin Point: The structural foundation for all energetic manifestations.
Terminal Entropic Boundary
Maximal Entropy & Stillness
- ● Electromagnetic Collapse: The identity of the photon dissolves; radiative structure ceases.
- ● Minimal Residue: Mass-form reduces to an entropy-saturated state.
- ● Cosmological Limit: Occurs beyond ~46.5 Gly (extreme dilution). No further decay is possible.
Core Mechanics
ECM diverges from standard autonomous photon models. It treats kinetic energy as a "transported expression" of a transition that occurred at the source.
Key Reference
"Liberation conserves and exports the source-bound transformation; it does not create autonomous kinetic energy."
Source-Bound Transition
The photon's energy is defined by the mass-potential transition at the moment of liberation. It is not an independent quantity.
The Manifestation Principle
Kinetic Energy is proportional to the Mass-Form ($\Delta M_M$). As entropic dilution reduces KE, the mass-form also degrades.
Entropic Redshift
Cosmic redshift is interpreted as the continuous loss of inherent kinetic budget due to entropic factors, not just expansion geometry.
Terminal State
At the terminal boundary, the inherent kinetic budget is exhausted. The photon becomes a non-radiative structural residue.
