I provide some philosophical groundwork for the recently proposed 'trans-Planckian censorship' conjecture in theoretical physics. In particular, I argue that structure formation in early universe cosmology is, at least as we typically understand it, autonomous with regards to quantum gravity, the high energy physics that governs the Planck regime in our universe. Trans-Planckian censorship is then seen as a means of rendering this autonomy an empirical constraint within ongoing quantum gravity research.
我为理论物理学中最近提出的“跨普朗克尺度审查”猜想提供了一些哲学基础。具体而言，我认为早期宇宙宇宙学中的结构形成，至少就我们通常的理解而言，在涉及量子引力时是自主的，量子引力是支配我们宇宙普朗克尺度的高能物理学。跨普朗克尺度审查随后被视为一种手段，可使这种自主性在正在进行的量子引力研究中成为一种经验性约束。
