Horizon-Maintenance Dark Energy: A Pre-Euclid Bridge Note from Finite Distinguishability

Yining Wu · 2026-05-19

v1.2 integrated canonical version. Registers a conditional physical bridge claim: if cosmological horizons are finite distinguishability boundaries, then the horizon-maintenance density scale is ρ_HM ∼ M_Pl²H², with physical non-phantom tendency. Develops a horizon-ledger occupancy model with recovery function μ_h(a), reconstruction protocol, event-horizon specialization, and pre-registered outcome and demotion conditions. Not a derivation of general relativity, quantum gravity, the Bekenstein-Hawking coefficient, or a likelihood-ready ΛCDM replacement.
