On a Unified Speculative Framework Connecting Cyclic Conformal Cosmology, de Sitter Holography, and Fuzzball Boundary States Eugene McDonnell (25136277) Foundations of quantum mechanics Fuzzballs <p dir="ltr">We present a speculative theoretical framework that attempts to connect three distinct structures in contemporary theoretical physics: Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC), the de Sitter/CFT correspondence (DS/CFT), and the fuzzball description of black hole microstates in string theory. The central conjecture is that the asymptotic conformal boundaries of each cosmological aeon — identified in CCC as the interface between successive aeons — may be reinterpreted as fuzzball boundary states within an eleven-dimensional M-theoretic substrate, with the intervening de Sitter geometry playing the role of a transient geometric bridge. The Einstein-Rosen/Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (ER=EPR) conjecture is proposed as the structure invariant under conformal transitions, providing a mechanism for information preservation across aeon boundaries. We further conjecture that the apparent separation between past and future fuzzball states is an artifact of dimensional projection from eleven to four dimensions, and that inflation may be interpretable as the geometric response to the quantum entanglement initialisation complexity of the nascent de Sitter bridge. Each component of this framework is explicitly classified by its epistemic status. No claim of mathematical derivation is made; this work is a speculative research programme identifying open questions and potential falsification directions.</p> 2026-09-29T09:42:25Z Text Preprint 10.6084/m9.figshare.34022400.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/preprint/On_a_Unified_Speculative_Framework_Connecting_Cyclic_Conformal_Cosmology_de_Sitter_Holography_and_Fuzzball_Boundary_States/34022400 CC BY 4.0
