Holography tells us that there should be a mapping between a boundary Hamiltonian and bulk degrees of freedom. We probe the bulk geometry of the Wegner Wilson Flow (WWF) in the context of many-body localization by addressing efficiency and bulk entanglement growth measures through approximating upper bounds on the boundary entanglement entropy. Here, we connect these upper bounds to the Fubini-Study metric and clarify how a central quantity, the information fluctuation complexity, distinguishes bulk unitary rotation from entanglement production. We also give a short new proof of the small incremental entangling theorem in the absence of ancillas, achieving a dimension independent, universal factor of c = 2.
