Black Holes as Informational Boundary Conditions (BH-IBC): A Framework for Recursive Cosmogenesis

This paper introduces Black Holes as Informational Boundary Conditions (BH-IBC), an interpretive framework in which black holes are understood not as singularities but as regime-level saturation surfaces arising from finite encoding capacity in classical spacetime. Rather than invoking divergences, tunnelling mechanisms, or modifications of general relativity, BH-IBC reinterprets gravitational collapse through established entropy bounds and holographic constraints. Within this framework, spacetime is treated as a representational regime characterised by finite encoding capacity. Black hole horizon entropy functions as a measure of informational load. When the entropy associated with collapse remains below the regime’s encoding capacity, the black hole behaves as a local entropy-processing structure. When horizon entropy approaches that capacity, representational saturation occurs and the system transitions to a boundary-dominated description. The breakdown is descriptive, not physical: classical spacetime variables lose validity while global information conservation is preserved. This reinterpretation yields a structured account of recursive cosmogenesis. The Big Bang is reframed as a regime transition analogous to horizon saturation, encountered in reverse temporal order. Cosmological origin is therefore treated as a boundary condition rather than a dynamical singularity or speculative pre-Big Bang event. BH-IBC introduces no new fields, particles, or forces. It preserves general relativity, black hole thermodynamics, and holographic entropy relations while reorganising them under a unified informational perspective. The framework offers a conservative yet structurally novel lens through which black holes and cosmogenesis may be understood as natural limits of representational capacity in an information-conserving universe.
