The Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Living Review Letters ID: The Entropic Seesaw Model (ESSM) of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) — A Complete Entropic Theory of Quantum Entanglement, the Attosecond Formation-Time Evidence, and the Resolution of Einstein’s EPR Paradox and the Maldacena-Susskind ER=EPR Conjecture

The present Letter — Letter ID in the Theory of Entropicity (ToE) Living Review Letters Series — introduces and fully formalizes the Entropic Seesaw Model (ESSM) as a self-contained, mathematically complete entropic theory of quantum entanglement. ESSM is developed within the broader framework of the Theory of Entropicity, an entropy-first program that posits the entropic field as the ontological ground of physical reality. The model is constructed in two conceptually distinct but mathematically unified stages. First, a formation stage, in which two previously independent entropic sectors — each described by a local entropic field configuration on its own manifold — undergo a local, finite-time, topological merger into a single shared entropic manifold. This merger is not an instantaneous kinematic fact but a genuine dynamical process requiring finite entropic resources and finite time, governed by a formation drive equation with a well-defined threshold-crossing time. Second, a persistence stage, in which the shared manifold is maintained under arbitrary spatial separation of the subsystems without the transport of any signal — the correlations survive not because information travels but because the two subsystems remain structurally identical to one entropic object, and the entropic distance between them remains near zero even as their spatial distance grows without bound. ESSM resolves the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox at the ontological level by introducing a rigorous distinction between spatial distance and entropic distance. The core of the EPR argument is the assumption that spatial separation implies ontological separation. ESSM denies this premise.
