Eight Entanglement Assays / Spooky Action at a Distance

Quantum entanglement is a physical resource, like energy, associated with the peculiar nonclassical correlations that are possible between separated quantum systems. Entanglement can be measured, transformed, and purified. A pair of quantum systems in an entangled state can be used as a quantum information channel to perform computational and cryptographic tasks that are impossible for classical systems. --Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Einstein famously called this "spukhafte Fernwirkung" or "spooky action at a distance." -- Overcoming Bias (http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/05/spooky-action-a.html)

The poem, for the individual reader, is continually in danger of being overwhelmed by Poetry, just as the I may be overwhelmed by Humankind.

*

The reader reads the poem; does Humanity read Poetry? Is there a "book" of Poetry read by the body politic alone?

*

The body politic is an epic dream projected by the desire of people to be one body; the body politic is its own and only Poetry.

*

The mind, inclusive of the senses, filters the world through myriad flues, traps, refractions, and transformations down to the DNA.

*

Poems, reflective of the senses, filter the world, through myriad tropes, prosodies, and figure-tortured utterances, into the body politic.

*

Universal laws of reciprocity (hypothetical) favor the efficacy of art, in areas of Being that are invisible to the individual consciousnes.

*

The leviathan that is the body politic depends for its effective existence on some mechanism analogous to quantum entanglement.

*

At least from Whitman forward, the relationship between the poem and Poetry depends on the principle of entanglement.
