A question for the physicists. I understand that entanglement is monogamous, which is really just a way of saying that a system's correlations with other systems cannot exceed +-1. Thus a maximally entangled system has no room for entanglement with any other system. The question is what happens to previous entanglements when a particle interacts with another particle, such that it becomes maximally entangled with it. Are prior entanglements completely obliterated, or are they just obliterated FAPP, meaning that maximal entanglement is also only FAPP? ISTM that some remote trace of entanglement - a kind of micro-entanglement - must remain?
