Abstract

Nonlocality and entanglement are now generally accepted as a fundamental finding of quantum theory, empirically confirmed beyond any doubt. Quite to the contrary, extensions to macroscopic systems (macro-entanglement) have scarcely been analysed. It is the purpose of this paper to study conditions under which macro-entanglement may occur, but also situations in which it can be jeopardized. The crucial new term for a theoretical understanding is ``common prearranged context.'' Two entangled entities may have a common historic, biographic or organizational context-which means that they are both involved in the same organized process. An existing macro-entanglement cannot simply be annihilated, but it can be disturbed by competing effects at the same level. Practical consequences for special tests (randomized double-blind controlled tests) are discussed as an example.
