This paper proposes a conceptual framework connecting gravitational energy accumulated inside black holes with discrete vacuum energy level transitions in newly generated universes. In the proposed model, gravitational energy produced by black hole collapse is mapped onto a downward shift in vacuum energy levels within a newly generated spacetime domain. Because vacuum energy levels are assumed to be quantized rather than continuous, the transition occurs within a finite spatial region, forming a new vacuum domain that expands exponentially. The energy released during this transition naturally drives cosmic inflation and leads to the birth of a new universe. In addition, the conversion of gravitational energy into vacuum energy effectively removes gravitational degrees of freedom, providing a possible explanation for the extremely low entropy observed in the early universe. This framework connects black hole physics, vacuum phase transitions, inflation, and cosmogenesis within a unified energy transformation principle.
