Albert Einstein – Relativity, EPR & questions of realism
Life dates: 1879–1955
With EPR Einstein questioned the completeness of QM and sharpened the debate about
realism and entanglement. In our theory, such tensions act as test stones for coherence in the
monadic field. His skepticism towards “spooky action at a distance” becomes a productive contrast: the
monadic field must demonstrate that non-local coherence is compatible with relativistic causality.
Biographical background
Born in Ulm in 1879, educated in Zurich, Einstein worked at the Swiss patent office before he published the
1905 annus mirabilis papers (special relativity, light quanta, Brownian motion). In 1915 he completed general
relativity as a geometry of spacetime.
Despite his contributions to quantum physics, he remained skeptical. The
EPR paper (1935) criticised the completeness of quantum mechanics and
prepared the ground for modern debates around entanglement (Bell).
Why Einstein matters for Quantum Monads
Einstein’s relativity fits our relational ontology. We do not replace spacetime, we
extend it with a monadic field in which entanglement appears as non-local coherence.
This field augments classical field theories with a coupling logic: carriers may appear and
disappear, but relation / coupling patterns (VQM) remain effective.
In this way we connect geometric coherence with a quantitative description of resonance / emergence. Where
Einstein looked for a unified field theory, our model opens perspectives onto social and artificial
systems; IEQ makes these field effects measurable and optimisable,
XDM provides the normative layer.
Convergences
Relativity of reference frames → monads exist relationally.
Space / time as structured contexts rather than absolute magnitudes.
Striving for coherent, unified theories.
Extensions
Interpreting entanglement as field coupling (monadic field).
Adding non-geometric coherence functionals (IEQ) to
geometry.
Carrying the logic over to social / systemic levels (communicative relativity).
Differences
Einstein favoured locality; we model genuine non-locality.
From classical causality to an operator-based coupling logic.
From carrier focus to emergent fields (resonance / coherence).
Depth and current relevance
The EPR debate led to Bell tests which empirically supported non-locality. For Quantum Monads this is the
entry point: fields can carry real non-local connections without violating classical causality.
Coherence becomes the bridge between relativity and quantum correlations.
Relativity teaches the absence of absolute reference frames – in physics, society and AI. We transfer this to
networks in which meaning, information and energy circulate. Thus, despite his scepticism, Einstein remains a
central reference of our model.
