The Evaporation Invariant (40/π): Quantized Horizon Laws, Pixel Condensates, and Observational Predictions from GRBs and FRBs

We introduce the Evaporation Invariant — a new dimensionless constant, , exact for Schwarzschild black holes and independent of mass. This invariant underpins a set of quantized horizon laws, providing the first quantitative form of ER=EPR and universal “tick budgets” for quantum decoherence and tunneling. The theory predicts that coherence and tunneling occur in discrete steps, not continuously, leading to a new horizon phase: the Pixel Condensate. These predictions connect directly to astrophysical anomalies — including GRB plateau quantization, FRB harmonic combs, ringdown echoes, mass-gap compact objects, QPO jumps, and early quasars — offering unique, falsifiable signatures. Crucially, analogue horizon experiments (BECs, optics, fluids) provide near-term laboratory tests, making the Evaporation Invariant framework both theoretically novel and observationally accessible.
