Braiding is equivalent to circuits, as shown by Microsoft’s idea for a topological quantum computer.
If you start a system braiding, it will build complexity because braiding appears to be non-local — and so the tangle becomes an increasingly complex circuit. The cusp of a black hole is a regime we’d expect such topological effects to accumulate.
AdS/CFT suggests that maybe there’s something deeper to the relationship between braiding in spacetime and quantum systems. Indeed, braiding is one of the few ways we know to generate quantized properties within a continuous geometric setting.
