Dear Christian,
it might be a sign of uncertain times that most responses to this contest (that I've had the pleasure of reading so far) chose to explore how uncertainty, undecidability and intrinsic epistemic limits impact our ability to investigate the world. You, laudably, chose the other option: restore predictability where the appearance of information loss in the Hawking process seemed to threaten it.
Moreover, you bring a fresh perspective to this problem---it's often said that the black hole is the hydrogen atom of quantum gravity, so what better way to handle it than with an approach that mirrors that of Bohr!
I have to say I haven't yet digested everything you bring to the table here---length constraints and the technical nature of the subject no doubt playing their part there---, but the fact that you can get a pure state as the endpoint of evaporation already seems very promising.
Out of curiosity, do you get any quantitative predictions from your approach---say, the evaporation time of the black hole, or the Hawking temperature? You mention that you get the BH entropy out, what degrees of freedom are counted by the entropy? The modes of the horizon oscillations?
Anyway, I'll have to spend some time mulling your essay over. I wish you the best of luck in this contest!
