In this paper, we discuss the concept of bulk reconstruction, which involves mapping bulk operators into CFT operators to understand the emergence of spacetime and gravity. We argue that the $N=\infty$ approximation fails to capture crucial aspects of gravity, as it does not respect gauge invariance and lacks direct connections between energy and boundary metrics. Key concepts such as entanglement wedge reconstruction and holographic error correction codes, which are based on the $N=\infty$ theory, may be incorrect or require significant revision when finite $N$ effects are considered. We present explicit examples demonstrating discrepancies in bulk reconstructions and suggest that a gauge-invariant approach is necessary for an accurate understanding.

  1. Entanglement Wedge Reconstruction without Holographic Quantum Error Correction

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A locality-based commutant argument shows that finite-N holographic CFTs lack the protected logical sector required for holographic quantum error correction, leaving only region-by-region entanglement wedge reconstruction.

    Lattice regularization of Rindler QFT shows the Unruh effect survives operationally for distant observables even though exact thermality is lost at the state level, with wave packets reflected at a stretched horizon o...

  3. Finite N Black Holes through the Brick Wall

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Reinterprets the brick-wall model as an effective description of finite-N departures from the semiclassical near-horizon continuum in AdS/CFT, producing residual reflections and model-dependent echoes.
