Reverse Synthesis of a Holographic-Style Universe

This paper proposes a testable, data-first route to a “holographic-style” universe: instead of starting with a theory and tuning it to measurements, we begin with observables, reduce them to unit-free ratio templates (CBS), and ask which minimal, discrete rule set could have generated them (IPS). The leading candidate is a compact stencil we call the Spiral Prime Lattice Model (SPLM), featuring a golden-rotation geometry, Fibonacci-like shells, and a projective lift into observable space. We evaluate SPLM with ring-closure tests—independent routes to the same constant that must agree after a single global gauge (“anchor-lock”) and within pre-registered tolerances ε derived from measured cluster widths. The framework is falsifiable (no per-family retuning), reproducible (manifests, ε-ledger), and comparative (a pre-registered suite of alternative generators with complexity penalties and permutation baselines). We report toy demonstrations and provide open protocols so reviewers can run out-of-sample checks on independent datasets to corroborate—or refute—the SPLM hypothesis.
