Entanglement is Geometric Stress: Reactive Substrate Theory’s Unified Field Response
The video “Feynman’s Quantum Gravity Test Revisited” explores a provocative idea: that classical gravity might be able to produce quantum-like entanglement between two massive objects. This blurs the line between classical and quantum physics—a result that Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) not only embraces, but reframes entirely.
RST argues that gravity isn’t mimicking entanglement—it’s causing it.
1. The Blurring Line Is the Substrate
In RST, both gravity and entanglement emerge from the same unified medium: the Substrate (S).
– Gravity is a classical pressure gradient in the Substrate. – Entanglement is a correlation state maintained by non-local tension across the Substrate. – No graviton is needed. The Substrate’s continuous geometry handles both effects.
The video suggests that entanglement can be woven into the fabric of spacetime even by classical gravity. RST agrees—but clarifies that this is because spacetime itself is a secondary effect of Substrate geometry.
2. Mechanism: Shared Stress Configuration
RST explains entanglement through Non-Local Stress Transmission, represented by the βS³ term in the Substrate Field Equation.
– Two massive spheres create a static tension gradient—this is gravity. – Their solitonic identities (σ) become correlated through this shared tension field. – The result is entanglement as a direct geometric consequence of classical gravity.
In this view, the gravitational field is not a passive background—it’s the active medium that maintains coherence between quantum states.
3. Why This Matters
If the experiment confirms entanglement via gravity alone, it doesn’t prove gravity is quantum in the conventional sense. It proves gravity is a geometric field capable of instantaneously mediating quantum states.
– RST sees this as a testable prediction: entanglement arises from Substrate geometry, not particle exchange. – The Substrate acts as a non-local medium that maintains coherence between solitons. – Quantum behavior is not separate from gravity—it’s a different mode of the same field.
– Classical gravity doesn’t mimic entanglement—it causes it. – Entanglement is a geometric stress pattern in the Substrate. – Gravity and quantum coherence are unified through tension gradients, not quantized particles.
RST reframes quantum gravity not as a fusion of two theories, but as a single geometric field behaving in multiple modes. The universe isn’t split—it’s stitched together by stress.
