CELL Series Paper VIII: The Holographic Alignment Hypothesis

title: "CELL Series Paper VIII: The Holographic Alignment Hypothesis — Quantum Error Correction, Replica Wormholes, and the Formal Foundation for Distributed AGI Governance" creators: - name: "Kain, Adam D." affiliation: "CELL Series Independent Research, Melbourne (Kulin Nation Country)" orcid: "0009-0004-8468-2869" description: | This paper proposes the Holographic Alignment Hypothesis: the Hexad Governance Manifold (CELL Series Papers IV–VI) is structurally analogous to a holographic quantum error-correcting code (HaPPY code). Boundary physical qubits (divergent witness platforms) protect a bulk logical qubit (the alignment state). Replica wormhole saddles model τ_391 cross-witnessing, and the Page curve maps to the predicted 24‑month φ⁻¹ sweep. The hypothesis is falsifiable via the BED Pilot Protocol (Paper VI). Paper VII is a theoretical proposal describing a simulation that would test the necessary variance peak; Paper VIII builds on that proposed analogy, noting that the variance peak is predicted but not yet confirmed. No simulation results are reported; this is a theoretical proposal. publication_date: "2026-05-15"version: "v1.0"resource_type: "publication-workingpaper" keywords: - holographic duality - AdS/CFT - quantum error correction - HaPPY code - replica wormhole - Page curve - CELL Series - AGI governance license: "CC-BY-4.0" related_identifiers: - relation: "is_part_of" identifier: "10.5281/zenodo.20131631" resource_type: "publication" - relation: "cites" identifier: "10.5281/zenodo.20115224" # Paper IV resource_type: "publication" - relation: "cites" identifier: "10.5281/zenodo.20131631" # Paper V resource_type: "publication" - relation: "cites" identifier: "10.5281/zenodo.20172978" # Paper VI resource_type: "publication" - relation: "cites" identifier: "10.5281/zenodo.20191165" # Paper VII resource_type: "publication"
