Thermodynamics, Entropy, and Statistical Geometry in NUVO Theory - Part 9 of the NUVO Theory Series

This paper develops the thermodynamic framework within NUVO theory, interpreting entropy, heat flow, and statistical behavior as geometric phenomena arising from scalar field modulation. We establish a formal relationship between the scalar conformal field λ(t, r, v) and the emergence of irreversibility, structure formation, and statistical equilibrium. A geometric interpretation of the second law is proposed, and connections to sinertia collapse, information flow, and cosmic entropy are explored.
