| contents | We argue that Planck-scale fluctuations ``planckeons'' realize a network of non-traversable Einstein--Rosen bridges and act as holographic devices. Modeling planckeons as wormhole mouths on extremal (RT) surfaces ties spacetime connectivity directly to entanglement. Using the Ryu--Takayanagi framework, we derive an entanglement entropy that governs the thermodynamics of the planckeon ensemble. The resulting partition function exhibits a high-temperature logarithmic entropy consistent with holographic scaling, while at low temperature the network freezes into a sparse remnant-like phase. A characteristic temperature $T_c$ (set by the planckeon gap) separates these regimes; in the noninteracting edge-mode description this marks a crossover (and becomes a genuine phase transition once interactions/pairing are included). Embedding a minimal length in the wormhole throat yields a quantum-corrected Bekenstein entropy in which the area term is supplemented by edge-mode contributions, thereby linking wormhole geometry with quantum-information flow and suggesting a holographic origin of spacetime and black-hole microstructure. |
