56 Conclusion: One of {Unitarity, No drama, Locality} is false. -/
57structure AMPSTrilemma where
58 unitarity : Prop -- Hawking radiation is pure
59 no_drama : Prop -- Smooth horizon for infaller
60 locality : Prop -- Physics is local
61 monogamy : Prop -- Entanglement is monogamous
62 contradiction : unitarity ∧ no_drama ∧ locality ∧ monogamy → False

64/-! ## Proposed Resolutions -/
65
66/-- Various proposals to resolve the firewall:
67
68 1. **Firewall exists**: Give up "no drama" (AMPS)
69 2. **Complementarity**: Give up locality (Susskind)
70 3. **ER = EPR**: Wormholes connect entangled pairs (Maldacena-Susskind)
71 4. **Fuzzball**: No interior at all (Mathur)
72 5. **RS Resolution**: Ledger non-locality resolves all
73
74 Each has strengths and weaknesses. -/
75inductive Resolution
76| Firewall -- High-energy particles at horizon
77| Complementarity -- No single observer sees contradiction
78| ERisEPR -- Entanglement = wormholes
79| Fuzzball -- Stringy structure, no interior
80| RS_Ledger -- Ledger non-locality

83/-! ## RS Resolution: Ledger Non-Locality -/
84
85/-- In Recognition Science, the resolution is ledger non-locality:
86
87 The ledger is NOT local. It spans the horizon naturally.
