Evidence is presented for dark energy resulting directly from star formation. A survey of stellar mass density measurements, SMD(), as a function of universe scale size , was found to be described by a simple CPL w - w parameterisation that was in good agreement with the dark energy results of 2018, Pantheon+ 2022, the Dark Energy Survey 2024, and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument 2024. The best-fit CPL values found were = -0.

We consider the role information energy can play as a source of dark energy. Firstly, we note that if stars and structure had not formed in the universe, elemental bits of information describing the attributes of particles would have exhibited properties similar to the cosmological constant. The Landauer equivalent energy of such elemental bits would be defined in form and value identical to the characteristic energy of the cosmological constant.
