Investigate the semiclassical stability of Cauchy horizons in spacetimes containing closed timelike curves and test the universality of Hawking's Chronology Protection Conjecture.
Introduced an invariant geodesic mass cutoff derived from the Generalized Uncertainty Principle to define a minimum proper time interval.
Integrated Seth Lloyd's post-selected closed timelike curve framework to analyze environmental decoherence caused by a traversing macroscopic mass.
The minimum proper time interval regularizes vacuum polarization divergences, keeping the renormalized stress-energy tensor bounded at the horizon.
Rapid decoherence induced by the macroscopic mass suppresses causal paradoxes, preserving consistency without requiring metric destruction.
