 180/-- In any cache, every boundary node determines the global field.
 181    Therefore, the number of independent "information channels" to the
 182    global state equals the surface area (boundary node count), not
 183    the volume (total node count).

 196
 197The holographic property has a dramatic consequence: removing part of a
 198connected cache preserves full information access, as long as the remainder
 199stays connected. This is because any single remaining vertex determines the
 200entire global field.
