This should help:
What is the entropy in bits at B = 0.123
of the Lorentz factor?
1/(1 - 0.123) = 1.14025
This real number has zero entropy unless
it can be partitioned in some way. It is
decided to partition the log of 1.14025.
Now, writing out only first factors and terms,
1.14025 = (1 + 0.123) * ...
Taking a logarithm,
log(1.14025) = log(1.123) + ...
A distribution whose normalization is then
to be interpreted to be the probability distribution:
1 = log(1.123) / log(1.14025) + ...
or,
1 = 0.883849 + ...
The Shannon entropy in bits uses log base 2 so,
S = -(0.883849) * log(0.883849) / log(2) + ...
or,
S = 0.157438 + ... = 0.6418 bits
Where 0.6418 was obtained by the computer
routine printed near the end of my paper.
Now since B = GM/R/c^2 and v^2/c^2,
this would be equivalent to the mass of our Sun
compacted inside an R = 12 kilometer sphere
where small masses orbit at 105145 km/sec.
I cannot address what happens at B = 0.88
since it is inside the event horizon at B = 0.7035

The method shown above assigns an entropy to all positions in a
space containing mass and assigns an entropy to a test mass
moving relatively inside that space. That is, B =GM/R/c^2 means
that given R what is S(R)? And, B = v^2/c^2 means given v
what is S(v)? Transformations of position and motion then means
that we need to know the inverse of S to get R and v. The computer
finds S given R or v by successively guessing B until the desired
S is found. Circular orbits are the result of zero transformation
of a single point in the S vs B plane. Elliptical orbits appear to be
circular transformations on the S vs B plane.

Although I have not addressed the Quantum Mechanics of fermions and
bosons, I see that the ensemble may be analogous to the degenerate
cosmological object in my paper with B very near unity. As I show,
the probabilities become 1 = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ... which
yields the degenerate S = 2 = 1/2 + 2/4 + 3/8 + 4/16 + ... + n/2^n + ...
bits. For 2^N particles in this universe we assign an entropy of N,
for 2^N copies in 2^N worlds as N approaches infinity the "weighting"
of "probability halving" results in S = 2 bits instead of many-bits.
Order out of chaos so-to-speak; and we don't get burned to a crisp.
Remember that I am speculating a consistent analysis of a
possible non-fact, a game.
