Entanglement Horizon Blocks Classical Thought

Black holes may have an entanglement horizon in branchial space outside the physical event horizon, and an observer at the entanglement horizon cannot form a classical thought (cannot collapse a wave function), so a distant observer would conclude such an observer can never determine outcomes — offering a qualitative handle on the black hole information paradox.

to a person far away from the entanglement horizon, they would conclude that the observer at the entanglement horizon could not form a classical thought, so that means they could never... In the sort of traditional quantum mechanics world they could never collapse the wave function
