Entanglement as Shared Persistence in Constraint Driven Dynamics

This manuscript presents a regime-based interpretation of quantum entanglement within a variational dissipative–conservative framework in which irreversibility and constraint are primary. Entanglement is interpreted as the shared persistence of oscillatory structure prior to irreversible collapse and localisation, rather than as a nonlocal interaction or hidden connection. Decoherence and measurement correspond to the accumulation of irreversible constraint that eliminates joint persistence and enforces classical separability. The work does not modify quantum mechanics, introduce new dynamics, or propose hidden variables. Its contribution is explanatory and foundational, clarifying the status of entanglement once quantum behaviour is recognised as a regime-dependent effective description.
