Structural Mechanics of Quantum Entanglement in the Theory of Structural Articulation (TSA)

Quantum entanglement is commonly interpreted either as a manifestation of nonlocal dynamics or as a purely epistemic feature of the quantum state.In this work, we present an alternative explanation based on the Theory of Structural Articulation (TSA), in which entanglement is neither a dynamical interaction nor a property of multiple independent objects. Instead, entanglement is identified with the topological integrity of a single structural defect embedded in a fundamental medium, whose spatially separated boundaries are observed as entangled particles. A strict separation is introduced between (i) the ontological condition of existence of such a defect, expressed as a topological invariant, and (ii) the statistical condition of observation, encoded in a contextual measure of realizability. The framework reproduces the exact quantum correlation E(a,b)=−cos⁡θE(a,b) = -\cos\thetaE(a,b)=−cosθ for singlet states, violates Bell inequalities without superluminal signalling, and provides a physically transparent resolution of the measurement problem within a metriplectic dynamics. The theory further predicts the intrinsic metastability of multipartite (GHZ-type) entanglement and a geometry-dependent modulation of coincidence yield, even in the limit of ideal detectors. These predictions render the model explicitly falsifiable and experimentally distinguishable from standard quantum mechanics.
