Resolution of the Black Hole Information Paradox via Spacetime Ladder Theory: Polarization Neutralization and Chern Number Information Storage

The black hole information paradox is a foundational problem in quantum gravity: Hawking radiation implies information loss, but quantum mechanics demands unitarity. Despite progress from AdS/CFT holography, firewalls, soft hair, and island calculations, these approaches remain incomplete for black holes in realistic (non-AdS) spacetime and rely on unverified assumptions. The 2026 literature emphasizes topological protection but lacks a unified microscopic mechanism. Within the Spacetime Ladder Theory (STLT) framework, this paper proposes that the black hole interior undergoes a dark matter polarization neutralization process: when contraction reaches a critical density, the Qi field Q generates a rebound force, and information is encoded in the topological Chern number |C| of the residual dark matter state. Evaporation does not destroy information but releases it in a 'stepwise' fashion into higher dimensions. We derive the evaporation rate correction Delta_tau proportional to exp(-alpha*|C|), where alpha = 1/137 is the fine structure constant. Information escapes in the form of spiral ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) detectable by IceCube and Auger. STLT simultaneously resolves information conservation and singularity avoidance, and connects to the Hubble tension (Delta H_0/H_0 approximately sqrt(alpha)). The model requires zero free parameters and provides a field-theoretic foundation.
