Quantum Entanglement as a Trace of Pregeometric Connectivity
I propose that quantum entanglement may reflect relational connectivity at a level where ordinary spatial distance is not fundamental. In the geometric framework considered here, particle pairs arise from an underlying field, retain a shared quantum structure, and participate in a network from which three-dimensional space emerges. Spatial separation in the emergent description need not imply complete independence at the underlying level. I formulate this idea as a conceptual hypothesis and distinguish it from established quantum mechanics, from classical common-cause explanations, and from specific proposals relating entanglement to spacetime geometry. Standard entanglement, Bell correlations, and the no-signalling condition provide consistency requirements; they are not derived from the proposed framework. No graviton-mediated mechanism, dynamical law, or experimentally distinguishable prediction is established in this paper. The hypothesis motivates a research programme requiring a defined state space, a rule for emergent geometry, a treatment of measurement and decoherence, and a quantitative comparison with quantum theory.
