Entanglement
The term entanglement is derived from its usage in quantum physics, as in quantum entanglement, and is now often used in other fields including by artists, philosophers, and sociologists to describe the relations which form our worlds. In quantum physics entangled particles, even if separated over vast distances, remain in correlation. Meaning that if one is affected by change the other is also affected. Their correlation is inseparable. Even if there is no recognised connection they can still be considered to be of the same body.
Karen Barad writes “To be entangled is not simply to be intertwined with another, as in the joining of separate entities, but to lack an independent, self-contained existence. Existence is not an individual affair. Individuals do not preexist their interactions; rather, individuals emerge through and as part of their entangled intra-relating.”

“Our entanglments demand that we take responibilies for our actions and utterances far beyond what we can see and know”
“Not only are our realities entangled with one another, we are entangled in the realities of all exisitance.”
“We are not only implict in all circumstances, these entanglements make us complicit”
