Black Holes as Scale-Decoupled Objects in Wilhoite Scaling Theory a Conceptual Note

This conceptual note clarifies the interpretation of black holes within the framework of Geometric Scaling Theory (Wilhoite Scaling Theory).

In this framework, gravity is not treated as a fundamental interaction, but as the observable consequence of a geometric scale disagreement between baryonic matter and the background spacetime geometry. Black holes are interpreted not as curvature singularities or regions of infinite gravity, but as scale-decoupled geometric states in which baryonic matter no longer admits a shared geometric scale with the external universe.

The event horizon is reinterpreted as a scale-communication boundary, beyond which geometric information cannot be reconciled with an external observer’s scale frame. Emitted signals remain internally well-defined but become observationally inaccessible due to geometric non-representability rather than dynamical trapping or information loss.

This note introduces no new parameters and makes no modifications to the canonical equations of the theory. It is intended as an interpretational clarification consistent with existing empirical results, including black-hole imaging and gravitational-wave observations, while avoiding reliance on singularities or force-based collapse mechanisms.
