Abstract

Quantum entanglement produces correlations between spatially separated systems that cannot be explained by classical local mechanisms. While quantum mechanics predicts these correlations with high precision, their physical origin remains conceptually unresolved. Bell-inequality violations rule out broad classes of local hidden-variable theories but do not uniquely determine the underlying mechanism of quantum correlation. This paper proposes a minimal and explicit physical assumption: that space itself undergoes spiral (helical) motion at the invariant light speed. We argue that this single assumption simultaneously accounts for distance-independent quantum correlation and the empirical appearance of localized, separable quantum systems, without invoking superluminal signaling or ad hoc nonlocal dynamics. Entanglement is thereby reinterpreted as a structural consequence of spatial motion rather than action at a distance. Keywords: Quantum entanglement, Bell inequalities, foundations of quantum mechanics, spacetime structure, geometric interpretation, nonlocality, separability, invariant light speed, spiral spatial motion
