Reality Entanglement Theory

The theory makes two claims.

1. Each person has a complete reality. A person does not hold a partial view of one shared world. Each lives within a whole version of the world.
2. Versions synchronize through contact. When people interact, their versions come into agreement about what they share. Where there is no contact, nothing requires the versions to match.

Chapter 2 of The Bridge says that each consciousness runs "its own personalized version of the reality program," and that the versions overlap enough to produce a shared, consensus reality.^[1] See Manifestive reality.

Reality Entanglement Theory can be read as a sharper statement of that passage. The Bridge says that personal realities overlap. The theory names what produces the overlap: contact.

The comparisons below are analogies. Despite its name, the theory is a metaphysical proposal. It does not use the mathematics of quantum entanglement and is not a theory in physics.

• Leibniz. In the Monadology, every basic unit of reality mirrors the entire universe from its own point of view. The units do not interact. They agree because they were set in harmony from the start.^[2] Reality Entanglement Theory shares the first idea and replaces the second with contact.
• Relational quantum mechanics. Carlo Rovelli proposed that the properties of a physical system are defined only in relation to another system that interacts with it. There is no single observer-free description.^[3]
• QBism. On this interpretation a quantum state expresses an agent's own expectations, so each agent has, in a limited sense, a personal account of the world that is updated by experience.^[4]

• What counts as contact? Meeting in person plainly does. It is less clear whether reading someone's letter, seeing a photograph, or sharing a common acquaintance is enough.
• What happens to records? Two people who have never met can check the same public record. The theory needs to say why their versions agree about it.
• Can it be told apart from one shared world? If synchronization always succeeds whenever a comparison is possible, the theory predicts exactly what a single shared world predicts. It would then be an interpretation and not a testable theory. See Verification and falsifiability.
