King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang Description We develop a first-principles framework for the physics of knowing, deriving epistemic dynamics from information mismatch. Under minimal structural assumptions, mismatch induces a quadratic energetic injection, leading to a balance law dE/dt = I - D that governs epistemic evolution. We show that the resulting imbalance field induces a minimal deformation of the affine connection on an augmented manifold, while the metric remains fixed. Thus, geometry is not imposed but emerges from imbalance-driven flow. At thermodynamic closure, imbalance vanishes and trajectories recover geodesic motion. This provides a structural link between learning, thermodynamics, and geometry, and offers a new perspective in which dynamics arise intrinsically from information discrepancy rather than external optimization.
