Abstract
Among them, the logarithmic term lnr is the core of realizing the cross-scale effect of "repulsion at short distances and attraction at long distances". Through multiple cross-scale verifications—predicting black hole shadows (Sgr A*, M87*) consistent with EHT observations without introducing additional free parameters (e.g., spin), fitting galaxy rotation curve data (Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy, NGC2974), and further analyzing the mathematical asymptotic behavior of dark matter halos (spanning nearly 30 orders of magnitude from black hole singularities to galaxies; spanning nearly 10 orders of magnitude from black hole shadows to galaxies)—it is proven that the framework has high consistency with observations in both strong gravitational fields (black holes) and weak gravitational fields (galaxies). This achieves the first unified description of gravity from the microcosmic to the macrocosmic scale, providing observable and reproducible empirical support for quantum gravity theory.

Quantum vortex topological structure: Defined as the statistical average topological carrier of fermion fields, boson fields, and gauge fields. Its operator form (an effective composite operator, characterized by the amplitude + phase of its expectation value on the strong coupling/CFT boundary) is:Quantum vortex field:
- : Fermion field, with dimension
- : Boson field, with dimension
- : Unified field strength tensor (macro-photon field), with dimension
- : Vortex phase, connecting non-local entanglement (quantum entanglement)
- : Central charge (topological charge number)
- : Topological phase
- : Minimum characteristic length (Planck length)

2.2. Key Formula Derivations
2.2.1. Modified Poisson Equation
2.2.2. Modified Gravitational Potential with Logarithmic Term
- Classical gravitational term : Dominates conventional gravitational effects, consistent with Newtonian gravity and the weak-field approximation of general relativity.
- Quantum gravitational logarithmic term : The core cross-scale correction term, whose effect depends on the magnitude of distance —it is repulsive at short distances (black hole "singularity" scale) and exhibits a gravity-enhancing effect at long distances (galactic scale), essentially representing the macroscopic manifestation of non-local entanglement of quantum vortices (the argument of the logarithmic term is dimensionless; the theoretical minimum characteristic length (Planck length) is normalized to 1 m, i.e., , naturally eliminating the dimension of the argument. Thus, the argument in the logarithmic term of this theory is implicitly normalized).
2.3. Cross-Scale Physical Nature of the Logarithmic Term
- When (black hole core region): tends to negative infinity, and the quantum gravitational term transforms into a strong repulsive potential. When , in the total potential, dynamically preventing matter from collapsing into a singularity.
- When is sufficiently large (galactic peripheral region): is a positive finite value, and the quantum gravitational term provides additional gravity logarithmically dependent on distance, compensating for the insufficient gravity of visible matter and maintaining the stable rotational velocity of stars.
3. Black Hole Scale Application: Singularity Resolution and Shadow Prediction
3.1. Singularity Resolution and Information Conservation
- Suppression of curvature divergence: The repulsive potential prevents matter from reaching , avoiding the divergent behavior of the Riemann tensor component , and realizing the physical resolution of the singularity without renormalization.
- Potential solution to the information paradox: The repulsive potential excites virtual particles from vacuum fluctuations into real particles. Through nested AdS/CFT duality (), these particles tunnel and escape the black hole horizon, carrying information away from the black hole while the black hole loses mass synchronously. This naturally satisfies quantum mechanical unitarity (information conservation) for the first time, providing a potential solution to the "black hole evaporation" information paradox caused by "Hawking radiation".

- Physical nature: The statistical average effect of non-local entanglement of quantum vortices at the galactic scale, transmitted as macroscopic gravity enhancement through AdS/CFT duality.
- Advantage: All parameters are correlatable with observations (e.g., corresponds to stellar luminosity and gas distribution), avoiding the theoretical flaw of dark matter being "undetectable".

- Parameter unification: Core parameters such as the -factor and have consistent definitions across dual scales; only dynamic adjustments of and are made to adapt to scale differences, with no additional hypotheses.
5.2. Comparative Advantages over Traditional Theories
| Comparison Dimension | This Theory (Quantum Gravitational Correction with Logarithmic Term) | Traditional Theories (Kerr Black Hole + Dark Matter) |
| Singularity problem | Physically resolved, satisfying information conservation | Unresolved, with curvature divergence |
| Free parameters | None (black holes) / 4 physical parameters (galaxies) | Black holes require fitting of spin and inclination; galaxies rely on dark matter distribution hypotheses |
| Cross-scale unification | Covers microscopic to macroscopic scales under a single framework | Black hole and galactic dynamics are fragmented |
| Observational verification | Multiple verifications including black hole shadows, galaxy rotation curves, and mathematical asymptotic behavior of dark matter halos | Dark matter particles not directly detected; black hole spin lacks independent verification |
| Physical picture | Clear image of quantum vortices + AdS/CFT duality | Dark matter nature unknown; Kerr black hole lacks microscopic physical support |
