> with the cosmological horizon somehow (?) corresponding to the BH horizon as viewed from the outside.

That’s not mentioned in the summary. After inflation the event horizon would not exist.

I have not really looked at the summary, opted to go straight to the source.

This identification happens in equations 31-34 on page 7f subsection "Cosmic Acceleration" in https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.23877

The justification looks super sketchy and hand-wavy to me, though, which I summarized as "somehow (?)".

"After inflation the event horizon would not exist."

Apparent cosmological constant viewed from the bouncing inside induces a cosmological horizon, which they identify with the black hole horizon viewed from the outside. Super elegant idea, but I don't buy that this is supposed to be true.
