Abstract

For clarity, this series employs the term process–event framework to denote the operational distinction between continuous quantum processes and their irreversible realization as physical events. This terminology is introduced solely to make explicit the domain of validity assumed throughout the analysis and does not constitute an interpretative or ontological modification of quantum theory. This article concludes a series developing a process–event framework for quantum theory by applying it to entanglement and Bell-type constraints. The analysis shows that Bell inequalities constrain ontological models in which measurement outcomes are assumed to exist as local entities prior to measurement, but do not require nonlocal causal dynamics. Entanglement is treated as non-separability at the level of the process description, while observable outcomes arise only through localized, irreversible event realization. Correlations become physically accessible only after classical comparison of recorded events, preserving relativistic locality and the no-signaling principle. The work does not modify quantum dynamics or challenge the mathematical validity of Bell’s theorem. Instead, it clarifies the domain of validity of its assumptions by distinguishing continuous quantum processes from discrete realized events. .
