Faster Than Light Signalling Between Entangled Particles Viewed Through Systemic Functional Linguistics

Penrose (2004: 598):
Most particularly, we recall the seeming conflict with special relativity: that the ‘communication’ between EPR pairs seems to pay no respect to Einstein’s own requirements that signalling faster than light should not be allowed.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic Theory, there is no signalling between entangled particles (EPR pairs) because their properties are instances of interdependent quantum potential. That is, it is the instantiation of potential as the properties of one particle that selects the instantiated properties of the other. The relation is between potential and instance, not between instance and instance.
