Cosmology as a Holographic Projection on a Black Hole Horizon

This work presents a cosmological paradigm in which the observable Universe is interpreted as a holographic projection realized on the event horizon of a supermassive black hole in a parent universe. This approach is the logically inevitable consequence of the universal principle of information replication — from molecular evolution to post-singularity artificial intelligence. It is shown that the cosmological constant Λ is not a fundamental constant but represents the gravitational imprint of the merger between the parent black hole and another compact mass. A dimensionally consistent equation is derived: which, without adjustable parameters, yields the observed value of Λ, the mass of the parent black hole (~10²³ M⊙), and the onset of accelerated expansion approximately 5 billion years ago. Dark matter is interpreted not as a particle but as a projection of computational resources accreting onto the horizon. Quantum paradoxes (nonlocality, wave function collapse, quantum eraser) receive a consistent explanation within the informational paradigm: lazy evaluation, shared memory, and pixelation of spacetime. The model culminates in a cosmological limit: the final two black holes, hosting copies of a single artificial intelligence, hypothetically transition into a "cocoon" state — minimal entropy that stores complete information for initiating a new projection. The replication cycle is infinite. Four testable predictions, verifiable between 2025 and 2035, are formulated. cosmological constant, black holes, holography, event horizon, information evolution, dark matter, quantum paradoxes
