Quantum Entanglement is a Misnomer

The term “Quantum entanglement” is a misnomer that creates conceptual distortions. What we are observing is neither quantum in nature nor entangled.

Quanta refers to discreet packets of energy, and is a perception that is descended from a classical “Atomistic” worldview: that is the belief that all things are made from discreet particles. Quantum physics, while accurate in its observations, is difficult to understand because of the fundamental belief in discreet entities. When we look at the world as a collection of discreet entities, we easily reach the conclusion that each entity is separate from the other, therefore any interactions between them must be mediated (i.e. carried through a medium). That medium is space. So if two things that are separate can only interact through space, and the rate at which energy can travel through space is limited (i.e. the speed of light), then instantaneous action at a distance (Quantum entanglement) should be impossible. And yet it is observed. Now if something that is observable appears strange to us, then the problem must be with our fundamental understanding of the nature of reality. And that problem is the view that things are separate. They are not.

Instead of looking at the world as a collection of discreet entities, regardless of how small, we should look at it as a gathering of continuous fields. Fields have fascinating properties that defy the laws of discreet physics. One such property is that of incommensurability. An example of incommensurability is how, when you take a magnet and break it in half, both halves will still have the north and south poles. If you look at the poles as information, then when you split a magnet, both pieces have the same information as the original whole. This happens with magnetic fields, as well as light fields. Holograms are light fields, encoded into a piece of glass and display the same property of incommensurability. If you take a holographic negative and similarly break it in half , both pieces will have the entire image encoded in them. This property is rooted in the fact that fields store information and this information is non-localized (it is not held in any particular location within the field). The field in its entirety, holds the information in its entirety. So when the field is split, both pieces will hold the entirety of the original information. So field incommensurability is the result of information non-locality.

Now if we extend this principle of non-locality, then we will also see that if information is non-localized within a single field then it can also be non-localized across multiple fields. So if two fields that are separated in space hold the same information, and this information is non-localized across both fields, then these fields are linked through the shared information set. This is information set essentially creates are another non-localized (outside of space) pathway for energetic exchange.

So what we observe as “Quantum entanglement” is actually “Field coupling” through non-localized information stored in both fields as a non-transient vibratory tone.

Let me know if this is sounds interesting and I’d be happy to explore this topic in more depth.
