Black Hole Accretion

Thermodynamic Energy-Information Processing Using Conventional and Quantum Physics
Authors: Semple, Lyle;

Black Hole Accretion

Abstract

We present a comprehensive theoretical framework describing black hole accretion within the Energy-Information (E+I) dual-field formalism, where matter processing represents the separation of energy field (E-field) excitations from their associated information/entropy field (S-field) content. Central to this framework is the hypothesis that black hole horizons act as thermodynamic phase-transition boundaries where the S-field undergoes a soluble-to-insoluble transition, creating "orphan quarks"—bare quark particles encased in insoluble information shells that decouple from the Higgs mechanism. At⁵⁶Fe formation zone, matter approaches the horizon as nuclear-equilibrium plasma. At the event horizon (r = r_s), extreme S-field gradients induce phase separation: E-field excitations (bare quarks) fall inward to form the black hole core, while their S-field content either (1) remains at the horizon as Bekenstein-Hawking entropy (S = kc³A/(4ℏG)), or (2) is ejected along polar magnetic field lines as orphan quarks in bipolar jets. This creates the observed "eye of the storm" morphology—a relatively calm equatorial accretion disk surrounding violent perpendicular outflows.

This framework bridges: Stellar nucleosynthesis and black hole physics (both produce ⁵⁶Fe, via different mechanisms) Classical GR and information theory (no quantum gravity required for information accounting) Accretion theory and dark matter production (BHs as ongoing DM factories) X-ray spectroscopy and cosmological structure (Fe Kα traces same physics that produces vertical DM) Classical Physics with Quantum Physics
