Abstract

This paper establishes an interpretation of quantum entanglement based on global energy conservation as a hidden variable, in a manner consistent with the foundational principles of local causality upheld by both General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory. This global constraint selects complementary solutions across distant sites, generating quantum correlations without superluminal signaling. The framework, grounded in the SEQ model, demonstrates that Bell inequality violations can be reconciled with a causality-respecting universe. We posit that global energy conservation is not an ad hoc constraint but a natural extension of the First Law of Thermodynamics. Therefore, this interpretation is rational and consistent with empirical observations.
