Area increases in mergers and accretion. Entropy also increases in irreversible processes. He treated this similarity as a thermodynamic law for gravity.\\n\\nBekenstein assigned entropy to the black hole itself. The assignment preserved the second law when matter carrying entropy fell in. Without it, the second law appeared violated at the horizon.\\n\\nHe framed black-hole entropy as missing information about the interior. An exterior observer cannot access that information. Entropy therefore measures inaccessible degrees of freedom.\\n\\n## Primary Works and Passages\\n\\nBekenstein published the core proposal in 1973. The paper is titled \\\"Black holes and entropy.\\\" It appeared in Physical Review D, volume 7, pages 2333–2346.\\n\\nKey statement: \\\"We show that it is natural to introduce the concept of black-hole entropy as the measure of information about a black-hole interior which is inaccessible to an exterior observer.\\\"\\n\\nAn earlier 1972 letter outlined the idea. Title: \\\"Black holes and the second law.\\\" Lettere al Nuovo Cimento, volume 4, pages 737–740.\\n\\nThe 1974 follow-up introduced the generalized second law. Title: \\\"Generalized second law of thermodynamics in black-hole physics.\\\" Physical Review D, volume 9, pages 3292–3300.\\n\\nBekenstein worked under John Archibald Wheeler at Princeton. Wheeler supplied the initial question about entropy loss when objects fall into black holes.\\n\\n## Convergence Patterns\\n\\nBekenstein’s work maps difference to information. Thermodynamic irreversibility supplies the difference. Horizon area stores the resulting pattern. The pattern functions as memory of infallen matter.\\n\\nIt touches the grain at cosmic scale. Information density remains bounded by area, not volume.
