Abstract
Entropic gravity theories propose that spacetime and gravity emerge from quantum information entanglements. Vacuum spacetime emerges in the ground state and its area law for entanglement entropy is due to short-range entanglement of neighbouring microscopic degrees of freedom. Matter changes the entanglement entropy in this vacuum and leads to Einstein gravity. Additionally, in a positive dark energy de Sitter Universe, where each conscious agent has a cosmological horizon, a volume law contribution to entanglement entropy is divided evenly over the same degrees of freedom and is caused by long-range entanglement. I propose these complementary shortrange and long-range entanglement contributions form a nested small-world network which provides the topological quantum computing foundation for relativistic multi-agent correlations which weave together a universal physics of Nature. The volume law contribution to entanglement entropy surpasses the area law for entanglement entropy at an agent’s cosmological horizon. Verlinde interprets gravitational “dark matter” phenomena as polymer-like memory effects caused by the volume contribution to the entanglement entropy. I propose these phenomena are instead multi-agent quantum computational consensus effects due to an equivalent volume contribution to the entanglement entropy. Life is correlated with its environment. Phenomena attributed to unseen “dark matter” particles are proposed here to be founded upon nested observer halos, “spheres of influence or correlation”, caused by the consensus Agency of Life. Suitable cosmological conditions for earliest Life in the Universe occurred some 10 billion years ago and older galaxies do not exhibit “dark matter” phenomena. Also, galactic rotation curves flatten beyond their high-radiation centres, due to astrobiology and the Agency of Life living in outlying low-radiation habitable zones. Where baryonic matter is in motion, then the Agency of Life stores its baryonic matter-lagging memory in skewed trails of apparent “dark matter” phenomena in spacetime.

Might the entanglement entropy perturbations at the roots of such entropic gravity theories be caused by baryonic matter and something else? Could the cause of additional weak entropic gravity phenomena, ΦDM, attributed to “dark matter”, be due to the Agency of Life—the capacity of living agents, observers, to make choices which bring about order and which correlate life with its environment?
Summary
A major problem in physics is to explain the cause of astronomical phenomena, ΦDM , attributed to “dark matter”. Could the cause of additional weak entropic gravity phenomena, ΦDM , attributed to “dark matter”, be due to the Agency of Life—the capacity of living agents, observers, to make choices which bring about order and which correlate life with its environment?. I propose that the order which Life increases, in itself and its offspring, organizes the entanglement entropy of spacetime in a nested small-world network of short-range and long-range entanglements, resulting in a weakly gravitating negative entropy that accounts for phenomena, ΦDM , attributed to so called “dark matter”. The spatiotemporal occurrence of Life in the Universe correlates with the spatiotemporal occurrence of ΦDM Following this introductory section (§1), the paper presents theoretical developments from current research into entropic gravity (§2.1), a nested small-world network model of entanglement entropy (§2.2) and the negative entropic Agency of Life (§2.3). The paper concludes with a discussion (§4) on some ramifications of the ideas
