Traditional quantum mechanics models hydrogen orbitals as solutions to the Schrödinger equation but offers no physical explanation for why these shapes emerge. In this paper, we present a novel thermodynamic model—S-Theory—that derives hydrogen orbital structures from recursive entropy amplification processes. By treating the electron field as an evolving entropy distribution subject to environmental perturbations, we simulate s and p orbitals (1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 2pz, 2px) using the recursive formulation: sn+1=sn2+sc. The results accurately reproduce quantum orbital shapes and predict their spatial evolution as outcomes of entropy feedback. This work introduces a unified framework that bridges thermodynamics, quantum structure, and information theory—viewing orbitals as entropy-generated geometries that encode structural information through the recursive compression of entropy fields. The recursive entropy collapse at higher energy levels also provides a natural foundation for the emergence of molecular seeds—laying the groundwork for a Unified Entropic Collapse Principle (UECP) that connects physics to the origin of life.
