ecological truth of entanglement. It functions both as metaphor—symptomatic of
entanglement at the atomic (spinning) particles and wave function levels, beyond
the reach of irreversibilities in classical physics—and as the mirroring of insights
deriving from modern quantum mechanics, and the so-called Many Worlds
Interpretation that transcends wave collapse in this or any other universal dimension.
The specific conclusion reached by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen has proved
classic: “While we have thus shown that the wave function does not provide a complete description of the physical reality, we left open the question of whether or not
such a description exists. We believe, however, that such a theory is possible.”

Ecological, heterogeneous, exogenous causes and obvious consequences of an
extinction event over space and time show this probability factor, or function, to be
a near 100% certainty, to the extent that extinctions are unambiguous after a conventional century in human time (though not other specie’s time). The paradox hovers
over two particles, an intervening wave separating local and nonlocal physical
space, and the impact of measurements of any of these entities in isolation from the
others. While the Theory of Special Relativity

may forbid the spread of information faster than the speed of light between these components, in the ecological
record of life on earth, such speed and its all-encompassing theories involving
entanglement are quite compellingly further adduced. The Anthropocene entities
are affected in a finite realm of definable ecosystems; the time, space, and nature of
the information conveyed present no obstacles. It is real, no matter the nonlocal
variables. The only uncertainty principles are those concerning biological resiliency
at all scales.
