          Abstract

          Classical instability in fourth order gravity is cured at the expense of unitarity. The appearance of hidden degrees of freedom replicating those of ordinary matter allows for ordinary thermodynamic entropy and black hole entropy to be identified with von Neumann entropy. The emergent picture gives a substantial agreement with B-H entropy and Hawking temperature.
