Abstract: We propose a novel, background-independent approach to ultraviolet completion of gravity via an entropic suppression form factor: F(□) = 1⁄[1 + (√–□⁄E₀)²] (or equivalently, F(□) = 1⁄(1 – □⁄E₀²)) This is motivated by universal Lorentzian coherence decay in quantum systems. Coupling matter through the invariant scalar E_loc = √(T_{μν} T^{μν}) yields modified Einstein equations with exact covariant conservation. We show that tree-level suppression generates the correct R² and R_{μν}² operators matching two-loop Goroff–Sagnotti form factors, and that one- and two-loop spectral residues remain positive, ensuring unitarity and ghost-freedom. Depending on analytic continuation, the spectrum contains either a massive spin-2 "suppressionon" resonance or a continuum of collective modes, both respecting strict micro-causality via a positive Källén–Lehmann density. In black hole interiors and cosmology, entropic suppression replaces singularities with smooth de Sitter cores or bounces, rendering all curvature invariants finite and extending geodesics through would-be singularities. Existing tabletop, gravitational-wave, and black-hole imaging data bound E₀ to 10⁻²–10⁻¹¹ eV, with near-term experiments poised to probe up to the eV scale. Our framework thus provides a predictive, technically consistent quantum gravity proposal that bridges information-theoretic, perturbative, and phenomenological approaches.
