Gravity, Horizons, and Black Holes in the Finite-QEC Substrate

Abstract

States the current gravity and horizon canon. The preferred presentation is proton-primary: the measured proton mass fixes Λ_P = m_p/(2√2), and the QEC/horizon accounting chain predicts G, M_P and H₀ (a script varies a dummy H₀ tenfold and confirms the final input ledger is unchanged). Two upgrades since the previous draft change the status. First, the local source form is no longer a horizon-input analogy: an explicit service-current T_svc^μν, with Ryu–Takayanagi / first-law entanglement reasoning, gives the linearized Einstein source at continuum-Jacobson grade. Second, the hierarchy coefficient has a sharper operator statement, Z_G = 4α₀²N_lock with T = 8+1+0 = 9, landing M_P at +0.016% before the remaining alpha/Λ precision convention. The horizon side has sharpened further: the Bekenstein severing-channel factor is C = 55/8 (56 directed monogamy incidences modulo the single global-complement blind slot, all-contact severing grounded in the [8,4,4] = Q₃ face lattice); and the absolute flux is now resolved — the near-horizon Bogoliubov spectrum is exactly thermal at the KMS temperature, so the flux is the standard Hawking coefficient (P/P_SB = 1.000 to ~10⁻²⁰), with the (10/27)α₀ source-counting only a 0.29% shortcut. The emitted species are the two-helicity photon plus a computed 11.4% graviton, and fast scrambling is forbidden by finite-range locality (a falsifiable negative). These still fall short of a complete quantum theory of black holes — the Kerr/charge extensions and the full dynamical-collapse lift remain open. Falsification surfaces are explicit: resolving the alpha-convention gate collapses the G window to a single value that must then match CODATA at its 22-ppm precision; the predicted H₀ = 67.27 km s⁻¹ Mpc⁻¹ dies with a SH0ES-side resolution of the Hubble tension; and Ω_Λ = 12π/55 = 0.6854 currently stands +0.1σ from the Planck value.
