# Holographic Principle **Domain:** Physics / Quantum Gravity / Information **Doc Type:** Concept Node **Maturity:** Evolving **Related:** [[Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Gravity]], [[The World as a Hologram]], [[Quantum Foundations]], [[Information Theory]] --- ## Definition The **holographic principle** is the proposal that the information describing a gravitational volume can be represented on a lower-dimensional boundary. ## Corpus Context Its modern lineage runs through [[Gerard 't Hooft]] and [[Leonard Susskind]]. In [[articles/Beyond the Sea|Beyond the Sea]], it provides a mathematically serious case in which apparent dimensionality and informational description diverge. It does not establish that ordinary experience is literally a computer simulation. ## Key Insight **This node connects its historical or conceptual subject to the corpus without treating analogy as proof of direct influence.** ## See Also [[Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Gravity]], [[The World as a Hologram]], [[Quantum Foundations]], [[Information Theory]] ## Sources / Provenance - [[articles/Beyond the Sea|Beyond the Sea]]
