    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→Postulating that the properties a subsystem has as a separated system are identical to the properties it has as a subsystem of composite systems leads to inconsistency.

    If subsystem properties in isolation were identical to their properties within entangled composites, quantum holism would be trivially false, contradicting well-established interpretive results.

    Key Terms

    Entangled composites(as used in quantum mechanics)
    In quantum physics, a combination of particles that are mysteriously connected to each other in such a way that measuring one instantly affects the others, no matter the distance.
    Interpretive results(as used in philosophy of science)
    Well-accepted conclusions that experts have reached about how to understand or make sense of scientific observations and experiments.
    Quantum holism(as used in philosophy of physics)
    The philosophical view that in the quantum world, the whole system has properties and behaviors that cannot be fully explained by just adding up what we know about its individual parts.
    Subsystem properties(as used in quantum physics and philosophy of science)
    The characteristics or qualities that a smaller part of a system has when you look at it by itself, separate from the whole.
