Entanglement, EPR and Bell in Time-Actualization: Correlations as the Structure of the Future, and an Einstein 1905-1935 Bridge

Time–Actualization (TA) reads quantum mechanics as the potential future, the relativistic causal record as the actualized past, and the present as the act of actualization that converts one into the other. We apply this reading to EPR and Bell. Entanglement is the non-factorizability of the joint future ρ_AB, not an inventory of pre-existing values. The EPR "element of reality" rests on a level confusion — taking predictability within ρ for a fact within ⟨P,≺⟩; once the two are distinguished, the incompleteness argument dissolves without hidden variables and without superluminal influence. Bell's experimentally violated inequality refutes the locally-causal hidden-variable hypothesis; on TA's reading what gives way is pre-actualized local realism, while operational locality (no-signalling) is preserved — and the latter is, in substance, the imported microcausality of the substrate. We are explicit, against an earlier version of this material, that the correlations, the Tsirelson bound, and the Born weights are imported from the quantum formalism, never derived, and that TA makes no distinctive empirical prediction (it is empirically equivalent to quantum mechanics). Finally we offer a structural bridge: Einstein's 1905 light-quantum argument and the 1935 EPR argument are two forms of one ontological slippage — mistaking the structure of the possible for the status of the real. The contribution is ontological clarity, not a new number.
