Abstract
This paper presents a rigorous theoretical framework—Informational Exomemory Cosmology (IEC)—that derives Dark Energy entirely as an emergent, thermodynamic byproduct of cosmic information processing. Rather than postulating a fundamental scalar field or an intrinsic vacuum energy density (\(\rho _{\text{vac}}\)), we model the three-dimensional (3D) cosmic volume as a holographic projection governed by a global, invariant two-dimensional (2D) boundary: the Cosmological Future Causal Horizon.
Every localized physical interaction inside the bulk updates the quantum configuration state of the universe. Because the ultimate future horizon features a strict Bekenstein-Hawking memory capacity, the universe must continuously clear its cache of obsolete microstates to maintain holographic consistency. Applying Landauer’s Principle, we demonstrate that the mandatory energy dissipation (thermal exhaust) of this information erasure at the global future boundary yields a constant, emergent negative vacuum pressure. This calculation derives the dark energy fraction of the critical density to be exactly \(\Omega_{\Lambda} = \ln 2 \approx 0.6931\) without free parameters, matching current observations, satisfying covariant conservation laws (w = -1), and resolving the cosmological constant discrepancy by 120 orders of magnitude.
