Thinking about accelerated observers, one can in principle locate holographic screens everywhere in space?

Emergence of holographic direction is accompanied by redshifts and coarse-graining procedure?

Verlinde is assuming that the physics of a region is actually derived from physics on a surface, or "screen", bordering that region. Well, it's a model. He's hoping that gravity falls out of this picture like the extra space dimension does.

This paper has been copiously discussed online.

Sabine Hossenfelder has a set of notes that may help you make sense of the paper.
