Operational precision for other assumptions about time and spacetime

Determine whether reasoning analogous to the entanglement-assisted Bell-inequality-like certification of dynamical time-reversal symmetry can make other assumptions about time and spacetime operationally precise.

Background

The central protocol expresses a temporal relation between forward and time-reversed dynamics as an experimentally testable probability constraint by using entangled probes and measurements. The discussion asks whether this strategy can be extended beyond time-reversal symmetry.

The paper leaves unresolved whether analogous constructions can turn other foundational assumptions concerning time and spacetime into quantitatively testable operational statements.

References

Whether similar reasoning can make other assumptions about time and spacetime operationally precise remains an intriguing question for fundamental physics.
