Consider Aspect's experiment and Bell's theorem.

Consider a blanket. Pick a spot on the blanket. Duplicate (entangle)
the spot into two. Move one of the two spots along the blanket but
fold the blanket carefully so that the distance along the blanket
surface increases but the distance in space between the dots
remains the same.

The suggestion is that "entanglement" causes a "fold". Any interaction, such as
communicating a message, will travel along the surface of the blanket. It takes
"the long road". But entanglement keeps the entangled points connected in a
space that is not related to the "blanket space".

In this model, entanglement causes a "fold in higher space" which keeps the
entangled particles in contact. Ordinary non-entangled particles reside in the
normal 3-space.

I've read the implicate order book and I'm among the people who
subscribe to de Broglie's pilot wave idea (although I think the "particle"
is more like a "wavelet" (as in a concentrated packet of energy).

Any information-carrying signal that we could recognize needs to
travel by electromagnetic radiation, which would travel in spacetime
(i.e. along the blanket). So the fold could not be used for signals.

The blanket model also has the advantage that it does not need
hidden variables to explain correlations.Nor do you need the
multiverse to explain probabilities. A measurement just reveals
"which side of the particle" is "sticking out of your side of the
blanket.

Cloning isn't possible because you'd need access to
both sides of the blanket. Collapse occurs because in order to
detect the particle with electromagnetic interaction it has to
"stick out of the blanket" (thus, collapsing into a direction)
and remains in that orientation.

Tachyons are particles that live in the topology that embeds
the blanket. They can travel "faster than light" because they
don't have to follow the blanket geodesic (like travel thru the
earth rather than around it would be faster than the speed of
sound in air).

Gravity is little more than a ripple in the blanket surface.

Interference could also be explained as a "rotation to the
other side", making the particle (wavelet) seem to "disappear"
since it can no longer be detected electromagnetically.

Since entanglement (as near as I know) spontaneously decays
this would be due to the fold in the blanket eventually separating.
The fold separates when there is a local disturbance (such as a
measurement) or any other concentration of EMF.

So I think that the topology of the situation explains a lot
without hidden variables or multiverse.

Unfortunately, this idea isn't something I can figure out how to
test. All my ideas need electromagnetism, which moves along
the blanket surface. The only apparent evidence I can come up
with is the "720 degree rotation" required to return a system to
its initial state. This suggests that there is an embedding of our
normal spacetime in a higher dimension. Perhaps the 720 degree
rotation involves rotating the particle so a 360 rotation makes it
"stick out the other side of the blanket" and a 720 brings it back
ot the same side?

Somehow the test has to involve the 720 degree issue. The
test has to use topology and the 720 degree twist to show that
the "blanket" is embedded in a higher surface (similar to the
idea of measuring angles in triangles to show you live on a
sphere). The key to the whole game is the minus sign that
shows up in rotations. Unfortunately I have yet to figure out
how to get from there to a specific topology.

I need to find some testable effects of the minus sign.

I am taking a topology course to find out more.
