We study the holographic map in AdS/CFT, as modeled by a quantum error correcting code with exact complementary recovery. We show that the map is determined by local conditional expectations acting on the operator algebras of the boundary/physical Hilbert space. Several existing results in the literature follow easily from this perspective. The Black Hole area law, and more generally the Ryu-Takayanagi area operator, arises from a central sum of entropies on the relative commutant. These entropies are determined in a state independent way by the conditional expectation. The conditional expectation can also be found via a minimization procedure, similar to the minimization involved in the RT formula. For a local net of algebras associated to connected boundary regions, we show the complementary recovery condition is equivalent to the existence of a standard net of inclusions -- an abstraction of the mathematical structure governing QFT superselection sectors given by Longo and Rehren. For a code consisting of algebras associated to two disjoint regions of the boundary theory we impose an extra condition, dubbed dual-additivity, that gives rise to phase transitions between different entanglement wedges. Dual-additive codes naturally give rise to a new split code subspace, and an entropy bound controls which subspace and associated algebra is reconstructable. We also discuss known shortcomings of exact complementary recovery as a model of holography. For example, these codes are not able to accommodate holographic violations of additive for overlapping regions. We comment on how approximate codes can fix these issues.

Uniqueness of null-local modular flow
For the free massless scalar in a Minkowski causal diamond, the vacuum is the unique state or weight in the vacuum sector whose modular flow is local on the null boundary.

Algebras for generalized entanglement wedges
Generalized (Bousso–Penington) entanglement wedges are conjectured to carry von Neumann algebras such that S_gen(W) = S(ω|A_W) − log Ind(E) + K_Ω (eq. 2.7), making BP's monotonicity and strong subadditivity consequenc...

The Making of von Neumann Algebras from Bulk Focusing
A boundary region's infinite-N operator algebra is a von Neumann algebra exactly when its generalized causal wedge closes on the same region; null geodesic focusing is the bulk mechanism.

Disjoint additivity and local quantum physics
Local quantum systems should obey disjoint additivity plus Haag duality, a combination that survives higher-form symmetries and fails for known nonlocal constructions.

Chaos and the Emergence of the Cosmological Horizon
Finite-mass observers in dS2 have non-commuting type I algebras, and their OTOC shows a Lyapunov exponent 4π/β_dS, twice the de Sitter bound.

Combinatorial aspects of holographic quantum secret sharing
Bulk regions in AdS3/CFT2 get a holographic secret-sharing distance d and thresholds (r,s), with r = n - d + 1; pure states satisfy s = d - 1 while mixed states can satisfy s >= d.

Phase transitions and uberholography of holographic pure-state geometries
A cross-ratio threshold relation η'/η = e^{ΔH/2} governs entanglement-wedge phase transitions on pure-state holographic geometries, and uberholography's fractal dimension α ≈ 0.786 persists on asymptotic boundaries bu...

Algebraic approach to spacetime bulk reconstruction
Complementary recovery in holographic codes is shown to be equivalent to preservation of Connes cocycle flow, and this holds for AdS Klein-Gordon fields in boundary diamonds and bulk wedges.
