-- ER_EPR_QLF.lean — ER = EPR, derived from the substrate core (no posited axioms) import QLF_Axioms import QLF_ReachableEvent /-! # ER = EPR from the QLF core — entanglement is a shared primordial closure This module **derives** the ER=EPR identity **from the verified core, with no axioms** — it does not posit the wormhole / shared-constraint relation: * **EPR (entanglement) = a shared ZFA closure.** Two histories are entangled iff they *close together* — their joint history achieves Zero Free Action (`achieves_ZFA`, `QLF_Axioms`). One balanced closure spans both; they are two readings of one closure, not two things that correlate. * **ER (the wormhole) = that shared closure rendered in the causal geometry as a non-causal connection.** Geometry is the *rendering* of closures, and the substrate causal order is `reachable` (prefix, `QLF_ReachableEvent`). A bridge is a shared closure between *spacelike* events — a real connection (one closure) with no causal path (non-traversable). * **ER = EPR** (`er_equals_epr`). Given spacelike separation, the geometric bridge exists *exactly* when the histories are entangled — the bridge IS the shared closure. Not a duality; an identity. * **No FTL** (`no_ftl_in_epr`). The bridge is spacelike, so neither end reaches the other: nothing is transmitted *through* the geometry — the two ends are one closure that space is synthesized around. **Distance is a matter of perspective.** Geometry — hence distance — is synthesized per observer (`SpaceTime.md`); the bridge has **zero closure-distance** (one closure) while the rendered spatial separation, large or small, is the observer's frame. So "how far apart" the entangled ends are is *perspectival*: zero through the closure, large through synthesized space — the same relation read from two frames. The witness is the **primordial entangled pair** — the conjugate `[+, −]` that closes (the substrate singlet, cf. `opposite_spin_singlet_closes`, `QLF_Spin`; `Primordial_Entanglement.md`). -/ namespace QLF open QLF.ReachableEvent /-- **EPR — entanglement is a shared closure.** `A` and `B` are entangled iff their joint history achieves ZFA (one balanced closure spans both).
