The Electron as a Higher-Dimensional Geodesic: A Geometric Interpretation of Quantum Correlation
Abstract
The phenomenon of electron entanglement, famously described by Einstein as `spooky action at a distance', remains interpretationally contentious. In this paper we suggest an ontological model which provides a possible explanation for this effect: rather than treating the electron as a single particle, we propose that it be understood as a geodesic with two ends representing intersection into the perceivable 3-manifold. In this paper we present geometric and conceptual arguments supporting this position and address expected objections, including those arising from Bell's theorem and its assumptions of separability. The work is intended as an interpretive and ontological perspective compatible with standard quantum-mechanical formalism. It does not propose a new formalism, nor do we (yet) make any new predictions: the aim of the work is to reduce paradox and conceptual complexity by re-identifying the object being measured.
