Entanglement

Synlithus inseparabilis·the Inseparable Stone

From Greek syn, together, and lithos, stone, and Latin inseparabilis, that cannot be parted; stones that are one before they are two.

Inseparable Stone, the whole specimen — Plate IX. Synlithus inseparabilis, the whole specimen.

Some pairs share one state and have none of their own, so the pair is more real than either part.

Some wholes have no parts of their own.

behavior Always grows in pairs, and when one twin is turned the other is found turned the same way, however far apart they lie.

provocation

Which relationship in your life could not be described by describing each person separately?

Each draw is the being derived afresh by the current laws at another seed (laws §11); the chosen one leads (where they sit in the morphospace).

I Dissection

Each organ answers one question about the idea. The framed one, its kernel, is the dominant organ: the being's class, the one the idea could not lose and stay itself.

Kernel of Entanglement — Fig. 1. Kernel
Singlet state
❦ dominant organ
Which premise, if it were false, would kill this idea?
Two systems can share a single state, so that neither has a state of its own and only the pair can be described.^{2, 1}
drawn as: first cell · view: transparent

Boundary of Entanglement — Fig. 2. Boundary
Local bound
What sets it apart from what it is not, and how does it keep that distinction?
It is set apart from ordinary correlation by Bell's limit; correlations a local account could explain are not entanglement.³
drawn as: wall · view: cross section

Intake of Entanglement — Fig. 3. Intake
Down-conversion
What must it feed on to work? What has to be present, noticed or supplied?
It needs systems that interacted or were made together, and isolation from everything else that would touch them.⁵
drawn as: gathered material · view: in situ

Mechanism of Entanglement — Fig. 4. Mechanism
Spooky action
How does it turn what it takes in into what it gives out?
Their joint state cannot be split into separate parts, so measuring one fixes what will be found in the other, though no signal passes between them.^{3, 4}
drawn as: weave · view: magnified

Output of Entanglement — Fig. 5. Output
Quantum key
What does it make possible, visible or knowable?
It gives correlations stronger than any local account allows, and the means of quantum computing and secure communication.^{3, 4}
drawn as: chamber · view: at work

Dispersal of Entanglement — Fig. 6. Dispersal
Twin souls
What part of it travels into other minds, ideas and fields, and by what vector?
It travels as the image of two things bound across distance, used for lovers, twins and ecosystems, usually stretched beyond what it means.¹
drawn as: copy · view: series

Decay of Entanglement — Fig. 7. Decay
Decoherence
What can it not digest, where does it fail, and what does it leave behind for others?
Any contact with the environment spreads the correlation into it until it is lost, which is why the everyday world looks classical.⁵
drawn as: ruin · view: detached

Lineage

Offspring

The Shared CellTwin Anchorhold, Anachoretes binatusby symbiosis

Food web

friction its kernel rubs against the kernel of Solitude
Solitude is one mind apart; Entanglement is a pair with no state of its own. Each denies the other's unit.
homology its intake resembles the intake of Solitude
Both need isolation, Solitude from other people's attention, Entanglement from everything that would touch the pair.
