Recent progress in AdS/CFT has provided a good understanding of how the bulk
spacetime is encoded in the entanglement structure of the boundary CFT.
However, little is known about how spacetime emerges directly from the bulk
quantum theory. We address this question in an effective 3d quantum theory of
pure gravity, which describes the high temperature regime of a holographic CFT.
This theory can be viewed as a $q$-deformation and dimensional uplift of JT
gravity. Using this model, we show that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a
two-sided black hole equals the bulk entanglement entropy of gravitational edge
modes. In the conventional Chern-Simons description, these black holes
correspond to Wilson lines in representations of $\PSL(2,\mathbb{R})\otimes
\PSL(2,\mathbb{R}) $. We show that the correct calculation of gravitational
entropy suggests we should interpret the bulk theory as an extended topological
quantum field theory associated to the quantum semi-group
$\SL^+_{q}(2,\mathbb{R})\otimes \SL^+_{q}(2,\mathbb{R})$. Our calculation
suggests an effective description of bulk microstates in terms of collective,
anyonic degrees of freedom whose entanglement leads to the emergence of the
bulk spacetime.
