We demonstrate that black hole event horizons, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and dark matter halos are three manifestations of a single geometric phenomenon: cross-brane information unavailability in the Randall–Sundrum two-brane geometry. A particle’s Planck-brane tail—the portion of its five-dimensional profile inaccessible to TeV-brane electromagnetic instruments—constitutes a microscopic information hole. When enough information holes concentrate in one region, they produce a black hole through one or both of two possible mechanisms: (i) pure Planck-tail displacement, in which cross-surface information degradation becomes total as displaced tails saturate a region, or (ii) bulk compression, in which the accumulated mass physically closes the equatorial channel and collapses the inter-brane separation to zero. The event horizon is not a causal boundary but an information boundary—the surface where cross-brane information unavailability becomes total. From the Planck brane, the same object appears as a “light hole.” The quantum-classical boundary does not exist as a physical threshold; it is the density at which particle-scale information holes become dilute enough to average out. The universe is modeled as a ziploc bag simultaneously zipping and unzipping: black holes are sealed regions where the branes have made contact, while expansion opens new bulk elsewhere. Both processes are occurring. Which dominates—whether the universe trends toward full closure or full opening—is an empirical question the framework poses but does not answer. If full closure is reached, the result is the pre-Big Bang initial condition. This paper serves as the unifies black holes, quantum uncertainty, and dark matter under a single interpretive framework.
