Structural Displacement: How Computational Finitism Resolves the Information Paradox Without Loss or Rounding

The apparent loss of information in black hole evaporation, quantum measurement, and thermodynamic dissipation has remained a persistent paradox in theoretical physics for fifty years. The standard resolutions, information destruction, information scrambling, or information cloning, all violate at least one foundational principle. We propose a resolution within Computational Finitism: information is neither lost nor scrambled. It is displaced. The substrate has a three-level architecture: the Fano channels (ordered sector), the Topological Redundancy Buffer (error-correcting sector), and the noise field (residual sector). When a physical process exceeds the TRB's capacity, the excess information is transferred to the noise field rather than destroyed. The extended state space (Fano + TRB + noise) evolves unitarily; the Second Law is a theorem about the inaccessibility of the noise field, not a fundamental axiom. The noise field is identified with the dark sector: dark matter and dark energy are the same field observed at different scales. A re-absorption mechanism prevents the noise field from growing without bound: displaced information can return from the noise sector to the TRB when local conditions permit. This yields a dynamic equilibrium: the noise field has a finite steady-state density determined by the balance of displacement and re-absorption. The resolution predicts specific, falsifiable signatures in black hole evaporation, dark matter distribution, quantum decoherence, and CMB spectral distortions.

Abstract

The apparent loss of information in black hole evaporation, quantum measurement, and thermodynamic dissipation has remained a persistent paradox in theoretical physics for fifty years. The standard resolutions, information destruction, information scrambling, or information cloning, all violate at least one foundational principle. We propose a resolution within Computational Finitism: information is neither lost nor scrambled. It is displaced. The substrate has a three-level architecture: the Fano channels (ordered sector), the Topological Redundancy Buffer (error-correcting sector), and the noise field (residual sector). When a physical process exceeds the TRB's capacity, the excess information is transferred to the noise field rather than destroyed. The extended state space (Fano + TRB + noise) evolves unitarily; the Second Law is a theorem about the inaccessibility of the noise field, not a fundamental axiom. The noise field is identified with the dark sector: dark matter and dark energy are the same field observed at different scales. A re-absorption mechanism prevents the noise field from growing without bound: displaced information can return from the noise sector to the TRB when local conditions permit. This yields a dynamic equilibrium: the noise field has a finite steady-state density determined by the balance of displacement and re-absorption. The resolution predicts specific, falsifiable signatures in black hole evaporation, dark matter distribution, quantum decoherence, and CMB spectral distortions.
