Explicit finite-N regularization/extension of emergent boundary algebras
Construct an explicit finite-N (type I) extension or regularization of the emergent large-N von Neumann algebras associated with boundary regions, such as the time-band algebra Y_{I_w} and the entanglement-wedge algebra X_A, in a general holographic conformal field theory. The goal is to realize these algebras at finite N as bona fide type I subalgebras whose von Neumann entropy matches the generalized entropy of the dual bulk regions, thereby making precise the finite-N version of subregion–subalgebra duality.
