Is the Overmind entangled?

From the very first time we meet Rome in Rome's Revolution, we are told about the Overmind and how it controls every aspect of a Vuduri's life. We also quickly learn that an Overmind arises as soon as there are sufficient Vuduri in communication with another.

We are told that the direct mind-to-mind communication shared by all Vuduri is due to a phenomenon called PPT Resonance. Rei is informed that a PPT tunnel does not remain stable within a gravity well. This confuses him because PPTs are required for the Overmind to exist. He finally comes out and asks Rome about this:

     “Well, what about the PPTs in your head? There’s no vacuum there, is there?”
     Rome frowned.
     “Sorry,” Rei said. “Sore subject, huh?”
     “No matter,” Rome said. She shook herself and forced herself to smile. “No, it is the very lack of vacuum and the fact that they occur within a gravity well that causes the PPTs in our heads to disappear which is a good thing. It is the oscillations of the PPTs that cause the resonance which is the basis of the direct connection.”

But is all of this gobbledy-gook? Is it just hand-waving to get past the need to explain the substrate that underlies the Vuduri's ability to communicate mind to mind?

The answer is no. There is a quantum phenomenon called entanglement which means that two particles (or waves) can interact over immeasurable distances using a method which no one understands. It is as if the two particles are one and the same and just happen to be far apart. The information imparted due to entanglement travels essentially instantaneously (speed of gravity, anyone?).

So it happens like this: a PPT tunnel forms within the head of a Vuduri and winks out again nearly instantaneously because it is in a gravity well. However, if two PPT tunnels open in different people's heads and are part of the same PPT tunnel, entanglement occurs and the rate of collapse slows and synchronizes. Add in billions of PPT tunnels constantly winking in and out, all at the same time and you have, voila, an Overmind.

Simple, huh?
