Hi Mark, When you say "holographic principle" are you talking Michael Talbot "Holographic Universe" ideas ? Personally I have strong affinity for a quantum information "holochory" view of the foundations of reality, including consciousness, but find Talbot goes too far for me with literal holograms at the macro scale .... I'd be intrigued to see your paper.
It seems almost obvious that the smallest "difference" must be the most atomic component of everything else ... however one constructs complex reality on top of that concept.
