The Observer-Centric Reformulation of the Black Hole Information Paradox

The classical formulation of Hawking's black hole information paradox assumes that information is an objective, observer-independent property of physical states. This paper argues that such a premise is both philosophically and physically incomplete, contradicting the epistemological essence of information and the fundamental role of the observer in quantum mechanics. Information, properly understood, requires the possibility of perception or decoding. By recasting the paradox from a question of "objective information loss" to one of observational inaccessibility, we propose an observer-centric reformulation that offers a path toward a new interpretation of black hole information dynamics.

Abstract

The classical formulation of Hawking's black hole information paradox assumes that information is an objective, observer-independent property of physical states. This paper argues that such a premise is both philosophically and physically incomplete, contradicting the epistemological essence of information and the fundamental role of the observer in quantum mechanics. Information, properly understood, requires the possibility of perception or decoding. By recasting the paradox from a question of "objective information loss" to one of observational inaccessibility, we propose an observer-centric reformulation that offers a path toward a new interpretation of black hole information dynamics.
