In this note, we explore the possibility that certain high-energy holographic CFT states correspond to black hole microstates with a geometrical behind-the-horizon region, modelled by a portion of a second asymptotic region terminating at an end-of-the-world (ETW) brane. We study the time-dependent physics of this behind-the-horizon region, whose ETW boundary geometry takes the form of a closed FRW spacetime. We show that in many cases, this behind-the-horizon physics can be probed directly by looking at the time dependence of entanglement entropy for sufficiently large spatial CFT subsystems. We study in particular states defined via Euclidean evolution from conformal boundary states and give specific predictions for the behavior of the entanglement entropy in this case. We perform analogous calculations for the SYK model and find qualitative agreement with our expectations. A fascinating possibility is that for certain states, we might have gravity localized to the ETW brane as in the Randall-Sundrum II scenario for cosmology. In this case, the effective description of physics beyond the horizon could be a big bang/big crunch cosmology of the same dimensionality as the CFT. In this case, the d-dimensional CFT describing the black hole microstate would give a precise, microscopic description of the d-dimensional cosmological physics.

Cosmology inside a black hole: adding matter on the brane
Perfect-fluid or axion matter on an end-of-the-world brane inside an AdS black hole removes a Euclidean self-intersection obstruction that pure-tension branes suffer in the approximately local regime.

Bag-of-gold spacetimes, Euclidean wormholes, and inflation from domain walls in AdS/CFT
Smooth Euclidean saddles with thin domain walls cannot create inflating interiors in AdS, but can create arbitrarily large bag-of-gold geometries at fixed black hole entropy.

Baby Universes from Thermal Pure States in SYK
A JT-gravity baby universe is constructed with a microscopic dual given by a low-temperature thermal pure state of two coupled SYK models, and its bulk entanglement to the AdS region is O(N) below the phase transition.

An apologia for islands
Entanglement islands and Page curves can arise in massless gravity without an external bath, and compactly supported gauge-invariant operators exist in islands around generic symmetry-breaking black hole backgrounds.

Constraints from Entanglement Wedge Nesting for Holography at a Finite Cutoff
For holography with a finite ETW-brane cutoff, entanglement wedge nesting requires the two intervals' RT surfaces to be spacelike separated, a condition stronger than spacelike separation of the intervals themselves.

Brane Cosmology from AdS/BCFT
In an AdS/BCFT model with a brane-localized scalar, the authors derive a real-conformal-dimension constraint for dS/CFT, a time-like g-theorem, and a classification of constant-potential brane cosmologies including bi...

The Quantum Null Energy Condition and Entanglement Entropy in Quenches
The QNEC gives a universal upper bound on the quadratic growth rate of quench entanglement entropy, and this bound is saturated by boundary state quenches.

Does Boundary Distinguish Complexities?
In BCFT, boundary complexity increments show the same divergent structure for volume, action, and path-integral measures in d>2, but in d=2 the action measure gives a finite constant instead of a logarithmic divergence.
