Large N symmetric orbifold CFTs decompose into superselection sectors that behave as closed universes, with each physical sector becoming one-dimensional after gauging, matching gravitational expectations.
Evanescent quantum extremal surfaces, bounded in area but not generalized entropy, diagnose failures of spacetime emergence in holography.
A saddle point in the coupled SYK model yields a bulk geometry with a baby universe whose chord-diagram Hilbert space state is entangled with the exterior, giving evidence that closed universes can carry nontrivial quantum information.
A modified semiclassical holographic dictionary is used to construct an extended gravitational path integral that factorizes, reproduces the Page curve for entropy, and includes operators for baby universe states.
The paper organizes important open questions in quantum gravity and quantum information into four themes without presenting new results or derivations.
