A Geometric Interpretation of the 1/4 Factor in Black Hole Entropy Published
Physics

The 1/4 coefficient in the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy S = kBA/4ℓP2 — computed microscopically by many quantum-gravity programs — is shown to arise purely from the causal geometry of any null boundary in a four-dimensional Lorentzian spacetime. A heuristic accessibility argument is backed by a geometric derivation from the canonical symplectic structure on the cotangent bundle and the causal splitting of the space of null rays; no gravitational field equations are invoked.

Null Geometry, One Nat per Cell, and the Bekenstein–Hawking Entropy Under Review
Physics

Combinatorial companion to the 1/4-factor paper. From just two premises — entropy as irreducible uncertainty, and the black hole as a complete scrambler — a horizon is shown to carry exactly one nat per Planck cell: by the Ehrenfest time the Wigner function has folded so each cell holds a finite but unresolved set of filament crossings, and counting such a cell gives e. With N = A/ℓP2 cells, Ω = eA/ℓP² and S = N; the kinematic 1/4 proven in the companion paper then yields the Bekenstein–Hawking formula.

Quantum Inaccessibility and the Geometric Origin of Time's Arrow Under Review
Physics

Irreversibility from the intersection of quantum mechanics and classical chaos: chaos amplifies irreducible ℏ-scale uncertainty until time-reversed trajectories fall below quantum resolution and become physically inaccessible, despite remaining mathematically valid.

Boltzmann Brain-Death With Editor
Physics

Dissolves the Boltzmann brain hypothesis via information propagability and Liouville's theorem. Two horns: ex-nihilo formation is forbidden by symplectic structure; Poincaré-recurrence variants cannot ground the skeptical hypothesis the literature requires.

Horizon Thermality from Pure Geometry Revising
Physics

Coordinate-free derivation of the Hawking–Unruh spectrum from the inaffinity eigenvalue equation alone — no metric, no Kruskal construction. Being revised to foreground its novelty against Israel (1976) before resubmission, now that the companion 1/4-factor paper is published.

Rational Polarization: Why the Literature Solved the Wrong Problem Revising
Philosophy

The Bayesian polarization literature asked the wrong question. Common-evidence convergence theorems fail because partisan media ecosystems violate their premise at scale — responsibility shifts from individuals to institutions.

Reality Wins: Why Genuine Machine Intelligence Requires Oracle Access to External Reality Revising
Philosophy

The implicit Turing test: a system is intelligent iff it can detect that its own interpretive frameworks have failed and revise them under world-pressure. Gödel, Turing's halting problem, and the Löbian obstacle become one diagonal argument — external grounding is the only resolution that doesn't relocate the regress. Journal version being re-aimed; conference variant submitted to MoC7 (below).
