What Is EIH

The Energetic Information Hypothesis, EIH, is a framework for understanding how attention, energy, and information shape human experience. It begins with a simple premise. Thinking is not abstract. It is a physical process that consumes energy and reorganizes information in the brain and body.

Across neuroscience, information theory, and thermodynamics, the evidence already agrees on one thing: thinking is energy management under entropy constraints. EIH simply connects the dots.

Attention directs energy.
Energy organizes information.
That organization determines clarity, behavior, and outcomes.

There is no peer-reviewed study that disproves EIH. What exists is a growing body of research that independently supports its core assumptions. EIH does not replace existing science. It integrates it.

It explains why focus feels stabilizing, why distraction is exhausting, and why modern digital environments drain people even at rest. The hypothesis reframes attention as a physical process within known limits, not a mindset, belief, or productivity trick.
