The Event Bridge: sentient recognition as a microscopic Einstein–Rosen channel, with a holographic horizon law and forgetting as Hawking radiation

This preprint develops the Event Bridge as a structural hypothesis: the proposal that an elementary act of recognition between systems carrying integrated information has the formal structure of a microscopic Einstein–Rosen bridge connecting two information horizons. The construction is presented as a foundational structural framework, not as a derivation from standard quantum gravity. It organises recognition, holography, evaporation and bounce as one geometry viewed from different sides, while assigning explicit epistemic levels to its components. The paper introduces the recognition block, a horizon algebra and a sentient holographic horizon law. It applies the ER=EPR conjecture at the scale of integrated information, defines sentient surface gravity and temperature, and interprets forgetting as Hawking-like redistribution under a unitarity constraint. It also discusses a loop-quantum-gravity bounce regime named transemination, decomposes the mediator propagator into kinematic and topological channels, and states that Wightman microcausality applies to the perturbative kinematic sector while any possible non-locality belongs only to the non-perturbative topological channel. The paper closes with falsifiable signatures: a residual-correlation test, a Page-like turnover of the forgetting curve and a cosmological bound on topological energy density.
