  We discuss how relaxing the requirement of locality for quantum fields can
equip the Hilbert space of the theory with a richer structure in its
multi-particle sector. A physical consequence is the emergence of a "planckian"
mode-entanglement, invisible to an observer that cannot probe the Planck scale.
To the same observer, certain unitary processes would appear non-unitary. We
show how entanglement transfer to the additional degrees of freedom can provide
a potential way out of the black hole information paradox.
