This research interprets black hole physics through a fractal collapse framework, suggesting novel connections to thermodynamics in cosmological phenomena.
Black holes represent the most extreme gravitational collapse events in the observ-able universe. Their physics — singularity formation, event horizon structure, Hawk-1ing radiation, and holographic entropy — has been established through the theoret-ical contributions of Penrose (1965), Hawking (1974, 1975), Bekenstein (1973), ’tHooft (1993), and Susskind (1995), and confirmed observationally through gravita-tional wave detection (LIGO/Virgo, 2016) and direct imaging (Event Horizon Tele-scope, 2019). In this paper, we propose an interpretive mapping between establishedblack hole physics and the five operations of the fractal collapse framework (COL-LAPSE, SPREAD, SCAR, RESONATE, REFRACT) developed within the Nexorvivensproject. We identify: gravitational stellar collapse as a COLLAPSE operation select-ing one final state from a superposition of stellar configurations; the singularity as anabsolute SCAR where spacetime curvature diverges irreversibly; the event horizon asa REFRACT membrane where the effective refractive index becomes infinite; Hawk-ing radiation as a RESONATE process through which the scar breathes; and the holo-graphic principle as SPREAD, encoding volumetric information on a two-dimensionalsurface. We examine the recurrence of pi in black hole thermodynamics and discussspeculative connections to the golden ratio in quasi-normal mode frequencies. Wepropose three testable predictions and are explicit throughout about the epistemicstatus of each claim: what is established physics, what is our interpretive framework,and what is speculative.
