LAW OF CONSERVATION OF CAUSALITY FOR THE AU-FIELD

DMITRIY YASHCHENKO

Published Apr 22, 2026• 6 citations

Abstract

The law of conservation of causality is one of the cornerstones of the AU-field axiomatics, allowing us to reconcile nonlocality with the principle of the absence of an information paradox. THE PROBLEM OF CAUSALITY IN NON-LOCAL THEORIES In special relativity, causality is provided by the finiteness of the speed of light: no influence can propagate faster, otherwise it would be possible to build closed time loops and violate the causality principle (the effect cannot precede the cause). However, in the Acta Universi hypothesis, the AU field shows non-local correlations with an effective rate(based on the interpretation of quantum entanglement and possible UAP phenomena). This raises a question: how is causality preserved? Answer of the AU model: causality is preserved not at the signal level, but at the level of the event archive structure. Space-time is not fundamental, but is derived from the correlations of the AU field. Therefore, "fast" correlations do not violate causality, since they do not transfer information in the classical sense.

Quantum entanglement in the Acta Universi hypothesis

Dmitry Yashchenko

Quantum entanglement in the Acta Universi hypothesis is not just a "strange" feature of quantum mechanics, but a fundamental mechanism for recording and reading information from the universal archive of AU field events. Entanglement is the physical realization of non-local correlations between events separated by arbitrarily large distances. The AU field acts as a" carrier " of entanglement on cosmological scales.

Correlation Without Propagation: Clarifying the Distinction Between Quantum Nonlocality and Relativistic Signal Transmission

Neil Clive Tuckwell

This preprint clarifies a persistent category error in the interpretation of quantum mechanics and relativity by explicitly distinguishing propagation from correlation. Relativistic constraints, including the finite speed of light, apply to the transmission of energy, matter, and information through spacetime. Quantum mechanics, by contrast, permits nonlocal correlations between entangled systems that do not involve transmission, motion, or signal propagation. The apparent instantaneity of quantum effects therefore reflects the revelation of pre-existing correlation structure rather than superluminal dynamics. By maintaining this separation, the preprint shows that the finite speed of light and quantum nonlocality are not in conflict. Light is limited in speed because it propagates; quantum correlations have no speed because nothing propagates. This framing resolves common misconceptions surrounding entanglement, nonlocality, and causality without introducing hidden structures, preferred frames, or violations of relativistic invariance. The work is intended as a conceptual clarification and falsifiable interpretive framework, not a modification of quantum theory or relativity.

Quantum Entanglement and Superluminal Particles: Preservation of Causality under Relativistic Constraints

Hasan Efe Karabulut

Two statements in physics are frequently conflated: that nothing can travel faster than light, and that two entangled particles behave as if "instantaneously" connected regardless of their separation. This paper addresses both questions together: whether a faster-than-light particle could exist and, if so, whether it would count as matter; and whether quantum entanglement actually violates the light-speed limit. Starting from the energy–velocity relation of special relativity, it is shown that massive particles cannot reach the speed of light, and the properties of hypothetical tachyons (imaginary mass, absence of a rest frame and violation of causality) are examined. Using the singlet state, the non-separability, reduced state and correlation properties of entanglement are derived, and the quantum violation of the CHSH inequality up to 2√2 is computed. Finally, via the no-signaling theorem, it is shown that entanglement produces non-local correlations without permitting superluminal communication. In conclusion, nature accommodates non-local correlations without allowing any object to travel faster than light.

Fundamental destruction of information and conservation laws

Jonathan Oppenheim, Benni Reznik

Theories which have fundamental information destruction or decoherence are motivated by the black hole information paradox where one appears to have pure states evolving into mixed states. However such theories have either violated conservation laws, or are highly non-local. Here, we show that the tension between conservation laws and locality can be circumvented by constructing a relational theory of information destruction. In terms of conservation laws, we derive a generalisation of Noether's theorem for general theories, and show that symmetries imply a strong restriction on the type of evolution permissable. With respect to locality, we distinguish violations of causality from the creation or destruction of space-like seperated correlations. We show that violations of causality need not occur in a relational framework, although one can have situations where correlations decay faster than one might otherwise expect or can be created over spatial distances. This creation or destruction of correlations cannot be used to signal superluminally, and thus no violation of causality occurs. We prove that theories with information destruction can be made time-symmetric, thus impossing no arrow of time.

LOCAL CAUSALITY AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS

Robert S. Goldstein

Quantum mechanics implies the existence of correlations which cannot be described by any local theory. These nonlocal correlations possibly suggest the existence of particles traveling faster than light (tachyons). But the potential paradoxes associated with their existence imply that, even i f these tachyons do exist, it should not be possible to control them in a manner necessary for human superluminal (faster than light) communication. Indeed, the unitary nature of the time development operator precludes the possibility of using non-local correlations to communicate superluminally within the quantum formalism. A simplified model which preserves unitary time development i s shown to be useful in studying 'thought experiments' which appear init ially to allow for superluminal communication. The consistency of quantum mechanics is questioned when measurements of retarded fields are considered. I f certain idealized measurements are possible in principle, then the quantum formalism appears inconsistent. I f the measurements are not possible in principle, then 'state reduct ion' (non-unitary time evolution of the state operator) in a pragmatic sense can be said to have occurred. The suggestion that tachyons be used to explain the non-local correlations i s abandoned in favor of another model whose philosophy is supported by the tenets of relativity theory. Such a model may imply the existence of a more general quantum theory where a quantum system itself can be taken as a (generalized) frame of reference.
