    "abstract": "The holographic principle asserts that the observable number of degrees of\nfreedom inside a volume is proportional not to the volume, but to the surface\narea bounding the volume. There is currently a need to explain the principle in\nterms of a more fundamental microscopic theory. This paper suggests a potential\nexplanation. This paper suggests that in general, for an observer to observe\nthe r coordinate of an event, the process of making that observation must\ngenerate at least as much entropy as the information that the observation\ngains. Following on from that, this paper sets out a simple argument that leads\nto the result that observers on the surface of a sphere can observe an amount\nof information about the enclosed system that is no more than an amount that is\nproportional to the surface area of the sphere.",
