Quantum Sovereignty + Entanglement
Sovereignty is a poor model for the prediction of actual political acts, and quantum sovereignty provides a much more accurate tool for measuring power. Insights gained from the quantum state of entanglement demonstrate how the performance of settler-colonial sovereign statehood is always already en...
