abstract="We construct an effective field theory (EFT) model that describes matter field interactions with Schwarzschild mini-black-holes (SBH{\textquoteright}s), treated as a scalar field, B0(x). Fermion interactions with SBH{\textquoteright}s require a complex spurion field, theta ij, which we interpret as the EFT description of {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}holographic information,{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} which is correlated with the SBH as a composite system. We consider Hawking{\textquoteright}s virtual black hole vacuum (VBH) as a Higgs phase, B0=V. Integrating sterile neutrino loops, the information field theta ij is promoted to a dynamical field, necessarily developing a tachyonic instability and acquiring a VEV of order the Planck scale. For N sterile neutrinos this breaks the vacuum to SU(N)xU(1)/SO(N) with N degenerate Majorana masses, and <mml:mfrac>12</mml:mfrac>N(N+1) Nambu-Goldstone neutrino-Majorons. The model suggests many scalars fields, corresponding to all fermion bilinears, may exist bound nonperturbatively by gravity.",
