Retrocausal Trajectory Injection via Localized Lattice Annealing: A Feasibility Study of the Hawking Protocol (2009)

Description

Abstract

The null result of the 2009 chronological rendezvous experiment (S. W. Hawking, "Time Traveller's Party") is conventionally attributed to the geometric non-existence of Closed Timelike Curves (CTCs). This study rejects such topological simplifications. Within the Holographic Information Tension (HIT) framework, the failure is re-evaluated as a rheological yield limitation of the World Crystal substrate.

We demonstrate that the injection of a macroscopic observer into a pre-hardened spatiotemporal lattice (t < tnow) necessitates a transient liquefaction of the local metric, governed by the relativistic Von Mises yield criterion. We derive the energetic cost of overcoming the Peierls-Nabarro potential barrier for temporal dislocation glide. Our analysis indicates that the invitation signal was likely received, but the attendant "Entropic Flash" required for re-materialization at coordinates (52.2° N, 0.1° E) exceeded the local Bekenstein bound.

Consequently, the travelers were not absent, but were rheologically damped into unobservable fossilized strain patterns. This paper serves as a feasibility study for retrocausal trajectory injection via localized lattice annealing.
