Motti Intermediate Physics — HAL: The Information Paradox — Coherential Channel, Page Time, and Unitarity

The HAL framework introduces a coherential information channel during black hole evaporation. A fraction alpha_em = 1/137.036 of the BH entropy flows to the coherential field theta, preserved unitarily via the exactly conserved U(1) Noether charge. Page time delayed by +0.7297%. Unique prediction: exactly alpha_em of BH information is unitarily preserved in the coherential vacuum, connecting the information paradox to the electromagnetic fine-structure constant.
