  Holographic Modulation ofVacuum Fluctuations: Casimir Correlated Patterns as Probes of Emergent Spacetime Author: Eran Sinbar Affiliation: Independent Researcher, Misgav, Israel Email: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0003-4803-0498 Abstract The black hole information paradox has led to the development of the holographic principle, which posits that all information within a volume of space is encoded on its boundary. This paper proposes a novel extension: that the scrambled holographic information on a boundary influences quantum vacuum fluctuations within the enclosed region. Specifically, we hypothesize that the popping in and out of existence of virtual particles encodes this boundary information in a scrambled form. We propose a testable prediction involving a kilometer-scale vector of Casimir plates placed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where a gradient in what we term the Casimir correlated pattern is expected due to varying information density. Crucially, we suggest that these correlated fluctuations may not merely reflect the structure of spacetime but could constitute its very emergence—offering a mechanism by which space, time, and even gravity arise from the statistical behavior of vacuum fluctuations modulated by holographic information. This framework offers a new perspective on the interplay between quantum information, spacetime geometry, and vacuum dynamics. 1. Introduction The black hole information paradox, first articulated by Hawking, challenges the reconciliation of quantum mechanics with general relativity. Hawking radiation appears thermal and devoid of information, suggesting a violation of unitarity. In response, the holographic principle emerged, asserting that the information content of a volume is encoded on its boundary, not in the bulk. This paper proposes that the vacuum fluctuations within a region—manifested as virtual particles—are influenced by the scrambled holographic information on the boundary. This leads to a new interpretation of vacuum dynamics as an information-encoding process, observable through what we define as Casimir correlated patterns.

  2. Background 2.1 TheBlack Hole Information Paradox Hawking’s semiclassical analysis of black holes predicts thermal radiation, implying information loss. However, developments such as the Page curve and quantum extremal surfaces suggest that information is preserved. 2.2 The Holographic Principle The AdS/CFT correspondence provides a concrete realization of the holographic principle, where a gravitational theory in a bulk AdS space is dual to a conformal field theory on its boundary. 2.3 Vacuum Fluctuations and the Casimir Effect Quantum field theory predicts that the vacuum is filled with transient virtual particles. The Casimir effect, a measurable phenomenon between closely spaced plates, arises from modifications to vacuum energy due to boundary conditions. We reinterpret this effect not merely as a force but as a Casimir correlated pattern—a spatially structured modulation of vacuum fluctuations influenced by boundary-encoded information. 3. Refined Hypothesis: Holographic Modulation of Vacuum Fluctuations We propose that the quantum vacuum is not a uniform stochastic background but a dynamic medium modulated by the holographic information encoded on the boundary of a region. In this framework: - The scrambled information on the boundary—arising from black hole thermodynamics and holographic entropy bounds—acts as a statistical source influencing the behavior of virtual particles. - These fluctuations are not random but statistically biased by the boundary’s information content, similar to how thermal fluctuations are shaped by temperature gradients. This hypothesis builds on the idea that entanglement entropy and boundary conditions in quantum field theory can influence local observables, suggesting that virtual particle dynamics may carry imprints of holographic data. We define the Casimir correlated pattern as the spatially varying statistical signature of vacuum fluctuations between Casimir plates, modulated by the density and structure of boundary-encoded information. Mathematically, this could be modeled by introducing a boundary-dependent term in the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor, possibly linked to the entanglement entropy across the boundary surface.

  4. Experimental Proposal:Casimir Correlated Pattern Gradient as a Probe of Holographic Influence 4.1 Setup We propose a linear array of Casimir plates, each nanometer scale in size, extending over several kilometers. This array would be placed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC): - Near end: Positioned as close as safely possible to the collision point, where particle interactions generate high entropy and dense holographic information. - Far end: Located kilometers away, in a region of low informational activity. - Orientation: The Casimir plates are aligned perpendicular to the local gravitational vector to minimize gravitational noise and mechanical deformation, ensuring that any measured pattern gradient is attributable to informational effects rather than gravitational artifacts. Figure 1: Experimental Prediction A schematic of the proposed kilometer-scale vector of Casimir plates at CERN. The plates are aligned from the high-information collision point to a distant low-information region. The term 'Casimir correlated pattern' is annotated to indicate both the expected spatial gradient and temporal modulation along the vector, correlated with the frequency and entropy of particle collisions.

  4.2 Prediction The Casimircorrelated pattern is expected to exhibit a measurable gradient along the vector, decreasing with distance from the collision point due to the reduced influence of boundary-encoded information. This gradient would be detectable using high-precision force sensors or fluctuation correlation analysis. 4.3 Theoretical Basis The Casimir effect is sensitive to the local vacuum energy density, which in turn depends on boundary conditions. If the holographic principle holds, then regions with higher informational density (e.g., near collisions) should exhibit enhanced vacuum modulation, leading to a more pronounced Casimir correlated pattern. We model the pattern intensity as: P(d) = P₀ / d² where: - P₀ is the pattern intensity near the collision, - d is the distance from the collision point. This inverse-square model reflects the geometric spreading of holographic information over a spherical boundary surface. 4.4 Correlation with Collision Frequency and Entropy Flux We further propose that the Casimir correlated pattern is dynamically responsive to the collision frequency and entropy flux at the LHC. In this view: - High-frequency collisions near the interaction point generate a dense flux of quantum information, increasing the local holographic entropy density. - This elevated information density modulates the vacuum fluctuations more strongly, leading to a higher amplitude or complexity in the Casimir correlated pattern. - As the collision frequency varies (e.g., during different operational phases of the LHC), the pattern should exhibit temporal correlations with these changes. This suggests a dual gradient: - A spatial gradient in the pattern intensity as a function of distance from the collision point. - A temporal modulation of the pattern correlated with the real-time collision rate. By synchronizing the measurement of the Casimir correlated pattern with the collision log data from the LHC, one could test for statistical correlations between: - The pattern amplitude or structure on the plates. - The collision frequency, energy, and entropy production rates. This would provide a time-resolved probe of how quantum information flux influences vacuum structure. 5. Implications - Quantum Gravity: Suggests a deeper link between spacetime geometry and quantum field behavior. - Information Theory: Positions vacuum fluctuations as a medium for information encoding.

Conclusion This paper proposes that the vacuum is not merely a passive stage but an active participant in the encoding of holographic information. The predicted Casimir correlated pattern gradient, both spatial and temporal, offers a testable signature of this hypothesis, potentially bridging the gap between quantum information theory and observable quantum field dynamics. Appendix A: Rationale for Inverse-Square Modeling of Casimir Correlated Pattern Gradient The inverse-square model for the Casimir correlated pattern gradient is motivated by fundamental principles of geometric spreading in three-dimensional space. In classical physics, several forces and field intensities—such as gravitational force, electric field strength, and radiative flux—obey an inverse-square law. This behavior arises because the surface area of a sphere increases with the square of the radius, given by A = 4πr². As a result, any conserved quantity emitted from a point source becomes diluted over a growing spherical surface. In the context of this paper, the collision point at the CERN LHC is treated as a source of high entropy and holographic information. This information is encoded on a spherical boundary surrounding the source. As the distance from the source increases, the density of boundary- encoded information decreases proportionally to 1/d², where d is the radial distance. If vacuum fluctuations are modulated by this holographic information density, then the Casimir correlated pattern—sensitive to local vacuum energy—should also exhibit a spatial gradient that follows an inverse-square law: P(d) = P₀ / d² Here, P₀ is the pattern intensity near the collision point, and d is the distance from that point. This model reflects the geometric attenuation of holographic influence and aligns with well-established physical laws.
