We develop a metric-measure geometric reinterpretation of quantum entanglement in which nonlocal correlations are encoded in the intrinsic geometry of composite state space rather than in dynamical propagation. Using the Bures metric and CPTP coarse-graining semigroups, we define a scale-dependent effective dimension of the entangled-state manifold. We propose that geometric observables along the renormalization flow may exhibit long-range dependence (LRD) characterized by a Hurst exponent H ∈ (1/2,1). A conjectured infrared attractor H* ≈ 0.65 is formulated as a falsifiable hypothesis. The framework preserves no-signaling and does not modify quantum mechanics. A direct link to the variance (RMS) of Eisenbud–Wigner–Smith time delay is proposed, providing operational accessibility of geometric LRD effects.

This work introduces an operational geometric framework for analyzing Eisenbud–Wigner–Smith (EWS) time delay in non-smooth quantum regimes. Without modifying standard quantum mechanics, we define scale-dependent geometric proxies compatible with non-smooth metric-measure structures and connect them to spectral shift mechanisms via Krein theory. Two scaling regimes are distinguished and expressed through a falsifiable law τ(E;ℓ) ∝ (1 + X(ℓ))^γ. The framework explicitly preserves unitarity, no-signaling, and relativistic causality. Concrete falsifiability criteria (Types I–III) are formulated. Order-of-magnitude comparison with attosecond chronoscopy suggests compatibility with observed delay enhancements in reduced-dimensional systems. The work introduces no new fundamental fields; it reframes time-delay observables in terms of coarse-grained geometric descriptors.
This work introduces a resolution-dependent geometric framework—Quantum Fractal Geometry (QFG)—in which the effective physical description of systems depends explicitly on observational scale. Within this framework, entangled quantum systems are modelled as unified geometric structures at deep resolution, characterised by a scale-dependent metric g_{μν}(ℓ) and a geometric phase field φ(x,ℓ) valued on S¹. Measurement is interpreted as a resolution-dependent projection of this unified structure onto detector-scale observables. A symmetry-constrained coarse-graining map is introduced as the minimal fixed point of resolution flow, identifying antipodal phase configurations (S¹ → S¹/ℤ₂). Under isotropy, continuity, and convex-linearity, the quantum correlation function E(a,b) = −cos(θ_a − θ_b) is recovered as the unique rotationally invariant statistic compatible with the projection structure, saturating the Tsirelson bound. Within QFG, Bell inequality violation arises not from nonlocal signalling or measurement dependence, but from the failure of scale-independent separability. Locality (in the operational no-signalling sense) and measurement independence are preserved. The framework further outlines a programme for deriving the Born rule from resolution-induced measure structure and identifies falsifiable predictions, including resolution-dependent deviations from ideal cosine correlations. This work should be understood as establishing the minimal geometric structure required for the QFG interpretation of Bell correlations, with full dynamical derivations deferred to future work.
Quantum entanglement is a central resource of quantum information science, yet its correlations are ordinarily treated as properties of the quantum state rather than as the outcome of an underlying physical process. Here we explore the hypothesis that these correlations are mediated dynamically by a field propagating locally at finite velocity through an extension of ordinary spacetime. The model embeds physical (3,1)-dimensional spacetime in a warped five-dimensional geometry containing an additional timelike coordinate. Within the adopted geometric ansatz, the form of the extended spacetime metric is determined by the five-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations. A massless field propagating through the resulting five-dimensional bulk can mediate correlations whose projection onto observable four-dimensional spacetime connects arbitrarily distant locations at equal laboratory time, while preserving operational no-signaling. Coupling this field to a Bohm--Bub-inspired collapse scheme provides a possible dynamical realization of entanglement correlations and, under a stated statistical consistency condition, reproduces Born statistics. The framework leads to a concrete experimental test. Two nominally independent Bell pairs are predicted to develop a weak, distance-dependent contextual correlation between particles belonging to different pairs, as a consequence of bulk-field mediation. This cross-pair correlation is absent in standard quantum mechanics for independently prepared systems and is predicted to decrease as the inverse square of their separation. It could therefore be tested by varying the distance between two simultaneous Bell experiments using existing photonic technology. Observation of such a signal would support a dynamical spacetime account of quantum entanglement and could have implications for quantum networks employing multiple independent entangled resources.
This work presents a comprehensive theoretical formulation of Quantum Fractal Geometry (QFG), a framework in which spacetime is fundamentally resolution-dependent. The apparent distinction between quantum and classical physics emerges from a single geometric principle: observer resolution as a structural parameter. The paper develops the formal mathematical foundations of QFG, including the definition of resolution-dependent metrics, a projection operator governing information accessibility, and the derivation of key physical results. These include the emergence of the Born rule from projection covariance, the recovery of the Einstein field equations as an infrared limit, and the Schrödinger equation as a dual flow correspondence. The framework provides a unified geometric interpretation of entanglement, black hole entropy, and gravitational structure, and introduces the Curvature Texture Index (CTI) as a measurable prediction linking multiscale geometric structure to astrophysical observables. A companion empirical study tests the CTI prediction using observational data from supermassive black hole host galaxies. All predictions are formulated with explicit falsifiability criteria, enabling experimental validation or refutation.
We propose a unified geometric framework in which space and time emerge as observer-dependent projections of quantum correlations embedded in the universal wavefunction. In this approach, we formulate six axioms (including a duality between entanglement and time) that establish a correspondence between correlation structures and effective spacetime geometry. We introduce the "correlationhedron", a convex geometric object representing the set of all permissible correlation vectors of a given state, and show how different observer "slicings" (modeled by projection maps) yield distinct emergent spacetimes from this object. An emergent metric is defined on each observer's spacetime via the second derivative of a correlation density (analogous to a Fisher information metric), linking gradients in quantum entanglement to curvature. This paper establishes the conceptual foundations of this approach as the first in a planned series of investigations. We illustrate the framework with conceptual and quantitative examples, including an explicit calculation of the emergent geometry for a two- qubit system in both separable and entangled states. Connections to holography (AdS/CFT) (Maldacena1998, Ryu2006), tensor networks (Swingle2012), and relational quantum approaches (Rovelli1996) are discussed, along with experimental signatures (such as curvature variations with entanglement) that could support the theory. Finally, we outline the limitations of the framework, particularly regarding dynamics and observer-dependent causality, to guide future investigations. This kinematic framework establishes the conceptual skeleton of emergent spacetime; detailed constructions, proofs of smoothness, and dynamical laws will appear in forthcoming work.
