| contents | The cosmological constant (CC, $Λ$) problem represents a remarkable discrepancy of about 120 orders of magnitude between the observed dark energy and its natural expectation from quantum field theory. This paper synthesizes two paradigms - holographic naturalness ($\mathcal{HN}$) and pre-geometric gravity (PGG) - to propose a unified resolution. The $\mathcal{HN}$ framework posits that CC stability is not a matter of radiative corrections but of quantum information and entropy. The large entropy $S_\text{dS}\sim M_\text{P}^2/Λ$ of the de Sitter (dS) vacuum acts as an entropic barrier, exponentially suppressing destabilizing quantum transitions. This explains why the universe remains in a high-entropy, low-CC state. We embed this within PGG, where spacetime geometry and the Einstein-Hilbert action emerge dynamically from the spontaneous symmetry breaking SO($1,4$)$\rightarrow$SO($1,3$), driven by a Higgs-like field $ϕ^A$. Both $M_\text{P}$ and $Λ$ are generated from more fundamental parameters. Crucially, we establish a direct correspondence between the VEV $v$ of the pre-geometric Higgs field and the de Sitter entropy: $S_\text{dS}\sim v$ (or $v^3$). Thus, the field generating spacetime also encodes its information content. The smallness of $Λ$ follows directly from the largeness of $S_\text{dS}$, a manifestation of a large $v$. The CC is stable because a large-entropy state's decay is exponentially suppressed. Our study shows new semi-classical quantum gravity effects dynamically generate "hairons", particles whose mass is tied to the CC. The instability of the dS space, driven by a condensate evolution, points to a dynamical origin for dark energy. This framework inextricably links the emergence of geometry, the hierarchy of scales and the quantum-information structure of spacetime, providing a novel path toward solving the CC problem. |
