Geometric Latency Constraints on High-Energy Particle Propagation in a Discrete Spatial Topology

In the search for quantum gravity phenomenology, testing the limits of Lorentz invariance typically requires introducing arbitrary free parameters. This paper investigates an alternative: propagation latency inherent to a strictly discrete, holographically bounded spatial topology. By enforcing Landauer's principle and Bekenstein holographic bounds on localized state transitions, we derive a zero-parameter geometric impedance constant ξ_theory = √2 ≈ 1.414, representing the root-mean-square propagation drag in a Planck-scale L1 lattice. We cross-validate this purely theoretical asymptote against recent Fermi/LHAASO Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) high-energy photon logs. The empirical data strictly aligns with a zero-intercept regression slope of ξ_fit = 1.4128, matching the geometric prediction with a minimal variance of Δξ = 0.0014. All data-extraction algorithms are open-sourced for independent replication, and we propose further blind testing utilizing broader ultra-high-energy datasets from facilities such as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.

Abstract

In the search for quantum gravity phenomenology, testing the limits of Lorentz invariance typically requires introducing arbitrary free parameters. This paper investigates an alternative: propagation latency inherent to a strictly discrete, holographically bounded spatial topology. By enforcing Landauer's principle and Bekenstein holographic bounds on localized state transitions, we derive a zero-parameter geometric impedance constant ξ_theory = √2 ≈ 1.414, representing the root-mean-square propagation drag in a Planck-scale L1 lattice. We cross-validate this purely theoretical asymptote against recent Fermi/LHAASO Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) high-energy photon logs. The empirical data strictly aligns with a zero-intercept regression slope of ξ_fit = 1.4128, matching the geometric prediction with a minimal variance of Δξ = 0.0014. All data-extraction algorithms are open-sourced for independent replication, and we propose further blind testing utilizing broader ultra-high-energy datasets from facilities such as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.
