Projectional Dissipation and Phase Perturbations in Black Hole Mergers — A TAP Perspective

We propose a new interpretation of black hole merger dynamics based on the TAP (Thermodynamic Asymmetry from Projection) framework. In this view, the irreversible growth of the event horizon area is not merely a gravitational consequence but a geometric manifestation of higher-dimensional informational dissipation. We further predict that phase micro-perturbations (tail-wave echoes) may arise as transient signatures of projectional asymmetry, potentially detectable in gravitational-wave residuals such as GW150914 and GW250114. The model offers a unified understanding linking temporal irreversibility, black hole thermodynamics, and cosmic-scale projection structures.
