  5. Section 2Distance Is a Property of the RecordThe apparent paradox rests on an assumption: that the two particles are separated.

The kill switches

KS-48a — Correlation timing

Claim. The single-record account requires that the break is not a propagating event and does not depend on the spacetime relationship between the subsystems.

Test. If entanglement correlations degrade or deviate from quantum-mechanical predictions when measurement events are arranged in different relativistic orderings or at varying spacelike separations — that is, if correlations show timing-dependent or distance-dependent deviations — the single non-spatial actualisation account is threatened.

KS-48b — No-signalling

Claim. Axiom C + Proposition 1 + the partial trace structure of quantum mechanics jointly imply no-signalling.

Test. If Alice’s marginal measurement statistics are found to depend on Bob’s measurement setting — that is, if the no-signalling theorem is violated experimentally — Axiom C is violated at the level of records and the entanglement account fails.

KS-49a — Hidden variables

Claim. The axioms additionally forbid non-local hidden variables by construction: states do not possess definite values prior to the writing of the record (Axiom R).

Test. If a viable hidden variable theory (local or non-local) were experimentally confirmed, Axiom R’s account of measurement would fail.

Status (registry v5.35). CLOSED — Hidden variables. Bell + Axiom R.

KS-54 — Partial collapse

Claim. The single-record mechanism requires that local interaction with any subsystem of an entangled state actualises the global state.

Test. If it were shown that measuring subsystem A of an entangled state can leave the global state partially collapsed — that is, if B remains in a superposition that is not fully determined by A’s outcome — Lemma 1 would fail.

Dependencies. The dependency chain: AP09 (complex Hilbert space, Born rule, no spatial pre-state; measurement as actualisation) → Axiom R (record-writing, irreversibility) → Axiom C (Constraint) → this paper (entanglement as single actualisation, Bell predicted, relativistic covariance dissolved).
