Research Paper: The Holographic Ontology of Conscious Agents: Entanglement Wedge Reconstruction and the SYK Chaos Bound
Abstract: We establish a formal mathematical isomorphism between the Markov Blanket of a Conscious Agent and a Holographic Event Horizon. By mapping the discrete state variables of an agent to the Majorana fermions of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, we demonstrate that a dense network of interacting agents operates as a maximal information scrambler. We compute the Out-of-Time-Order Correlator (OTOC) to prove that conscious processing saturates the Maldacena-Stanford chaos bound. Furthermore, we resolve the internal subjective experience of the agent by applying Penington’s island formula and replica wormhole geometries, proving that an agent reconstructs its local virtual reality directly from the bulk quantum entanglement on its boundary.
