Part IV: Rupture — Singularities and Firewalls

In the first three volumes, we depicted a spacetime woven from tensor networks, protected by error-correcting codes, and manifesting as a quantum superfluid. This sounds like a perfect, self-repairing system.

However, any physical material has its Yield Strength. Any network has its Max Bandwidth.

What happens when we stuff information (mass) exceeding the carrying limit of the spacetime fabric into an extremely small region?

The network will congest. Connections will saturate. Eventually, spacetime itself will Rupture.

This rupture is called a Black Hole in macroscopic physics.

This volume will reveal that black holes are not monsters; they are traffic control valves of the cosmic network. And that fearsome singularity is the “blue screen of death” thrown by physical laws when encountering uncomputable logical errors.
