I used to think of entanglements as links that connect different locations with a shared state. Entanglements are created by measurements. Now I realize that the entanglement is the measurement: a measurement is an event that correlates the behavior of two systems.

So if not measured, who- or whatever are sharing state aren‘t...entangled?

They could be, but we won’t know without the measurement. I see that J says that ‘entanglement is the measurement’ but in another tweet, that ‘measurement does not create the entanglement.’ e either is or isn’t, some m finds out which it is while other m might miss the point.

The measurement does not *create* a physical thing, like some cosmic synapse between distant particles that transmits information, but it lets us share state.

Any introductory reading that either of you could recommend?

Great question. I can think of people (in no particular order) in this context - Bohm, Wheeler, Holland, complexity people like Bar-Yam, Kauffman, physicists like Gell-Mann, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg...and I’m going to be very curious what Joscha says
