Path-Dependent Geometrogenesis: Emergent Bulk Topology from Quantum Circuit Histories

Standard models in holographic duality assume that spatial connectivity in the bulk comes directly from the instantaneous entanglement entropy of a boundary state, typically tracked by the Ryu-Takayanagi formula. However, this static approach creates a blind spot: completely different state-preparation pathways can end up mapping to identical macroscopic spatial surfaces. We present an informational-physiological alternative framework termed Path-Dependent Geometrogenesis. Our core hypothesis positions the emergent bulk spacetime metric tensor g_μν as an operational ledger. Rather than registering immediate state correlations, it encodes the specific, time-ordered unitary history, the actual quantum circuit, that generated those correlations. By decoupling instantaneous Dynamical Entanglement from State-Encoded History, this model breaks the geometric degeneracy found in states with identical Von Neumann entropies. We model spacetime as an evolving, self-regulating topological network, providing a fresh perspective on how to localize bulk degrees of freedom and track the structural persistence of emergent network bottlenecks.

Abstract

Standard models in holographic duality assume that spatial connectivity in the bulk comes directly from the instantaneous entanglement entropy of a boundary state, typically tracked by the Ryu-Takayanagi formula. However, this static approach creates a blind spot: completely different state-preparation pathways can end up mapping to identical macroscopic spatial surfaces. We present an informational-physiological alternative framework termed Path-Dependent Geometrogenesis. Our core hypothesis positions the emergent bulk spacetime metric tensor g_μν as an operational ledger. Rather than registering immediate state correlations, it encodes the specific, time-ordered unitary history, the actual quantum circuit, that generated those correlations. By decoupling instantaneous Dynamical Entanglement from State-Encoded History, this model breaks the geometric degeneracy found in states with identical Von Neumann entropies. We model spacetime as an evolving, self-regulating topological network, providing a fresh perspective on how to localize bulk degrees of freedom and track the structural persistence of emergent network bottlenecks.
