Holographic Principle
A principle in theoretical physics developed from Juan Maldacena's AdS/CFT correspondence, holding that a higher-dimensional spacetime can be fully equivalent to an information structure on a lower-dimensional boundary, implying that spacetime is not a fundamental entity.

The Ryu-Takayanagi formula in the holographic principle states that the entanglement entropy of a subregion in a boundary conformal field theory is proportional to the area of the corresponding minimal surface in the bulk spacetime.
The holographic principle asserts that all physical information in a d-dimensional space can be encoded on its (d-1)-dimensional boundary.
The holographic principle originates from the AdS/CFT correspondence discovered by Juan Maldacena in the 1990s.
The holographic principle holds that the degrees of freedom required to describe all physical information within a spatial region may be fully encoded on the boundary surface of that region, rather than within its volume.
The counterintuitive conclusion regarding black hole entropy was established by the work of Bekenstein and Hawking, and was later elevated by 't Hooft and Susskind into the more general holographic principle.
In the holographic perspective, gravity and curved spacetime are not the fundamental constituents of the universe, but phenomena that emerge from more fundamental quantum information and quantum entanglement structures on the boundary.
