Abstract

There has been, quite recently, a discussion on how holographic-inspired bounds might be used to encompass the present-day dark energy and early-universe inflation into a single paradigm. In the current treatment, we point out an inconsistency in the proposed framework and then provide a viable resolution. We also elaborate on some of the implications of this framework and further motivate the proposed holographic connection. The manuscript ends with a more speculative note on cosmic time as an emergent (holographically induced) construct.
