Linguistic entanglement is the term used to describe a connection that can be made to occur between two words so that the usage of one results in a corresponding change in the properties of the other. It is particularly remarkable because the information shared between the words seems to be received instantaneously, contradicting the long-held conviction that ideas cannot travel faster than the speed of thought.
The phenomenon of linguistic entanglement was first discovered in 2011 when dark meaning researchers fired linguistic units through a specially designed word splitter, which caused them to be turned into pairs. When the researchers then measured the properties of these words, they found that collapsing the semantic wave function of one (by using it in either written or spoken form) caused the semantic properties of its partner to be collapsed instantaneously into a word with a completely different meaning. It seemed as if each word somehow “knew” what would happen to its entangled partner.
The researchers split themselves into two groups in separate rooms and each used one of the words in conversation at an agreed time. Whenever this was done, the sense in which Word A was understood in Conversation A was always different to the understanding of Word B in Conversation B. For example, the word "seed" was used in the first group to describe the process of removing seeds from something about to be eaten, while it was used to describe planting seeds by the second group. The same pattern of outcomes occurred when two researchers separated by very large distances used the same word in a written sentence at the same time: the sense in which one was used always excluded the sense of its entangled partner.
These experiments were carried out hundreds of times and sometimes across distances of hundreds of miles, and the results were always the same.
The DMRI has carried out further entanglement experiments by sending one of a pair of words into the outside world (usually inside a sealed book) while collapsing the meaning of its partner in the liboratory to influence how it will be perceived by the reader and the rest of the world in the future. The results have shown that it is possible to use entanglement as a means of bringing about significant changes in society via “spooky editing at a distance”, but this comes with a huge moral responsibility...
Whenever the Institute has carried experiments where the results materialised beyond the walls of the liboratory, it has always been careful to make sure that an extremely negative sense of a word was not released into the outside world. This has been achieved by only making deliberately negative interpretations inside the liboratory (so the corresponding changes occurring beyond it are positive) and then quarantining them in a hermetically sealed archive known as “Pandora’s book”. Anyone else wishing to carry out such experiments should do so only if they have the resources to make sure they can contain the toxic definitions and ensure their “doomsday dictionary” is never opened.
Unfortunately, it appears that many governments across the globe have begun making use of similar techniques, but in an inverted way, so the positive results are manifested in the halls of power while the rest of society is treated as an open Pandora’s book (a semantic dumping ground where everything is experienced as “spin down”). The DMRI is keen to make as much of this information public as possible so that people can fight back against such tyranny, but it is also trying to do so in a way that will allow only the most responsible members of society to fully grasp what is being said since there is an extremely high potential for this knowledge to be misused.
Hopefully you will understand...
PLEASE NOTE: Linguistic entanglement is not to be confused with "entinglement" (another name for ASMR) or "semantic polarity reversal" (the process of switching the meaning of two opposites, such as “black” to mean “white”, and “white” to mean “black”, to create undercover words like linguistic chameleons which blend in to conversations but bring out a secret, deeper meaning for their owners).
