%X The rationale for Flat Space Cosmology (FSC) calculations of gravitational entropy in the form of<img src=\"Edit_b1cc8737-4359-4634-a9e1-37f5a22c1b5f.bmp\" alt=\"\" />is presented. These calculations indicate a tight correlation with the COBE DMR measurement showing CMB RMS temperature variations of 18 micro Kelvins. The COBE <em>dT/T</em> anisotropy ratio of 0.66 ˇÁ 10<sup><span style=\"white-space:nowrap;\">&amp;minus;</span>5</sup> falls within the FSC gravitational entropy range calculated for the beginning and ending conditions of the recombination/decoupling epoch. Thus, the FSC model incorporating gravity as an emergent property of entropy suggests that the CMB temperature anisotropy pattern could simply be a map of gravitational entropy, as opposed to a magnified ˇ°quantum fluctuationˇ± event at a finite beginning of time.
