Information Paradox & Microstate Structure
Hawking radiation appears thermal and random, suggesting information is lost when matter falls into black holes. This violates quantum mechanics. The χ=24 framework proposes K3 surfaces preserve information through holographic encoding.
Standard Bekenstein-Hawking entropy:
Speculative note: Topology might leave subleading imprints in microstates. We make no change to the area law and no quantitative prediction.
If internal geometry affects the detailed structure of black hole microstates, this could potentially modify information processing, but specific claims require a concrete holographic dual and explicit calculations.
