We apply the Stochastic Rupture (SR) collapse framework to pulsar glitches, reinterpreting them as branch-coupling cascades at the informational boundary between the quantum-coherent superuid interior of a neutron star and its classical rotating crust.Using the SR trigger condition SvN ≈ η IBek with η ∈ (0, 1], we compute the holographic saturation ratio χ = SvN/IBousso for the inner-crust neutron superuid of a canonical 1.4 M⊙ neutron star and nd χ ∼ 10−70, placing it 55 orders of magnitude deeper in the coherent regime than laboratory helium-4. The electromagnetic torque acts only on the classical crust, driving an angular velocity lag ∆Ω that feeds informational entropy into the vortex-mediated boundary layer. When the boundary entropy approaches η times the local Bekenstein capacity of a vortex core, a cascade of branch-coupling events transfers angular momentum to the crust, producing the observable glitch. The framework reproduces the observed glitch size power law, the τglitch ∝ 1/|Ω˙ | scaling, and the multicomponent post-glitch recovery without additional free parameters beyond those of the core SR postulates. A discriminating new prediction is a glitch rise time trise ≲ 30 µs for large Vela-class glitches, arising from causality of branch-coupling propagation in SR.We state every physical assumption explicitly and list open theoretical problems.
