Well... what about a volume whose surface is shaped like a fractal, and
therefore has arbitrarily high surface area? (e.g. human lungs,
circulatory system, etc.) Does this get around the holographic
principle? And how invariant is the principle under
topologically-invariant transformations that change the surface area?
(like transforming a fractal volume into a sphere, or vice-versa?)
