[2026] Cosmic Inflation as a Computational Phase Transition

Abstract: We derive the GUT scale by treating inflation as a computational saturation event in the primordial vacuum. The inflationary epoch is characterized as an emergent entropy bound where pre-existing quantum states undergo catastrophic erasure. By applying Landauer's Principle to this information loss, we demonstrate that the resulting thermalization naturally recovers the standard reheating temperature (TR) and scale-invariant density perturbations, offering a finite-resource resolution to the trans-Planckian problem without invoking eternal inflation.

[PRE] The Dark Halo: Galactic Rotation from Quantization Noise

Status: In Preparation. Analysis of asymptotic velocity residuals in galactic dynamics. Preliminary findings suggest that dark matter halos may be explained as cumulative discretization errors in the vacuum metric. We propose that flat rotation curves derive not from exotic particle content, but from the finite computational resolution of spacetime at macroscopic scales, behaving as an effective entropic force.

[PRE] The Holographic Observer

Status: In Preparation. Extending Bekenstein's holographic principle to the measurement limit. We examine whether the observer constitutes a local information bottleneck subject to the Landauer limit, with implications for the Born rule and the emergence of wavefunction collapse as a data compression artifact.
