- <p>We present a parameter-free derivation of the dimensionless fine-structure con-<br>stant α, based on a holographic accounting of surface information (bits) versus in-<br>terior quantum degrees of freedom (Dirac modes) inside a minimal, self-stabilising <br>“micro-horizon” surrounding an electron. Four conceptually independent inputs <br>enter: (i) the Bekenstein–Hawking surface bit count, (ii) the degeneracy of the <br>lowest Dirac modes under MIT boundary conditions, (iii) a curvature-sensitive <br>logarithmic Seeley–DeWitt correction, and (iv) a uniform-WKB (zeta-regularised) <br>high-ℓ tail that captures large angular-momentum modes. Combining these yields <br>α−1 = 137.035998(20), in numerical agreement with the CODATA 2023 value to <br>better than 0.001%.<br>The construction is scale-agnostic: applying the same bit/mode logic to the <br>muon reproduces the same coupling within uncertainties, and the formal structure <br>extends upward in scale to the cosmological horizon, offering an analogous account <br>of the cosmological constant Λ in terms of surface bits per gravitational soft (null) <br>mode.<br>Finally, we outline how energy-scale dependence (running α) emerges naturally <br>from the logarithmic term and discuss falsifiable predictions for sub-ppm “step” <br>structure at high momentum transfer.</p>
