LC,   
   Thank you for your pointer, on FQXi, to Strominger for an introduction   
   to BH hairs.  I have seen two of his 2017 videos of conference sessions   
   at Cambridge and Edinburgh.   
      
   1.  I suspect (by analogy with my "Rasch pairs" work making 1-D metrics   
   from binary judgments made on pairs of mundane classical objects) that   
   real particle pairs (for Hawking radiation) can only originate in a   
   spacetime. So in the limit as the (stretched) horizon is asymptotically   
   approached there is less and less chance of a real fermion pair being   
   created.  Maybe this could be related to the trans-planckian problem?   
   If I understand it well enough, the trans-planckinan problem is that the   
   pairs have huge energy pushing back their pair creation to the time of   
   the BH creation (and hence before the spacetime is lost on a stretched   
   horizon). That would seem to fit in with pair creation needing to be set   
   in a spacetime.  Has  the trans- planckian problem been overcome or has   
   it been pigeon-holed while work pushes ahead?   
      
   2.  I have a number of other questions but will limit them to one or two   
   related to CCCs.  Can Penrose's CCC nodes and BH's stretched boundaries   
   be equivalent.  One seen from inside our universe (query being inside a   
   BH) and the other seen within our universe (looking at a BH from outside   
   the BH)? Could the CCC node have hairs too?  Up until recently I thought   
   of a CCC node as being a singularity (a BEC of soft photons in one   
   state), but my rasch work suggests that the CCC spacetime could break   
   down gradually. Likewise, doesn't the internal metric of a BH break down   
   gradually as the Page Time is appproached?   
      
   The smaller the confinement, the larger the energy required. QCD->   
   QED/weak -> gravity.  The less energy the bigger the theatre of   
   operations. Do gravitons formed from very soft photon entanglements have   
   a role connecting very large spacetimes to one another?
