Title: Black Stars: Ultracompact Gravitational Condensates Without Singularities and the Information Paradox — A CCEGA Analysis (v1. 1) Description: v1. 1 update: X/Twitter handles clarified, DBI-BI connection with frozen stars (Brustein) expanded, comparison with existing LIGO echo searches added. Recommends immediate search for radion sidebands Deltaf in 240, 2400 Hz in LIGO O3/O4 data. No singularity. Information compressed to rhoc, not destroyed. Relates to: doi: 10. 5281/zenodo. 19870013 (v1. 0) Proposes that black holes are black stars: ultracompact gravitational condensates whose collapse arrests at rhoc = 7. 4 rhoₙuc in the CCEGA framework. Information is compressed to rhoc, not destroyed. Released via gravitational wave echoes when perturbed. Three falsifiable predictions: (1) echoes at ~14 ms post-merger, (2) merger remnants slightly less massive than GR prediction, (3) superradiant spin-down in rotating objects. Key discriminant: radion sidebands Deltaf in 240, 2400 Hz — unique CCEGA signature absent in frozen stars, gravastars, and Planck stars. Recommended immediate test: search for sidebands in existing LIGO O3/O4 data around tentative echo events (GW170817, GW151226, GW170104). Connects to frozen star literature (Brustein 2024) via DBI-BI correspondence. Honest about limitations: unitariedad not proven, information per echo estimated only.
