The contour surrounding the origin is analogous to the intersections of our future and past light cones with our future and past cosmological horizons.
Our here-now light cone origin is analogous to the origin in the complex plane.
"what the function f(z) is doing at the origin is completely fixed by what it is doing at a set of points surrounding the origin"
Roger Penrose 7.3 Road to Reality
f(0) is analogous to us as hologram images projected from the surrounding closed contour - analogous to the pre and post-selected cosmological horizons.
