This paper formalizes quantum entanglement within the Helix-Light-Vortex (HLV) framework, defining it as a phase- and topology-locking phenomenon on a discrete vacuum lattice. By leveraging the HLV's symbolic grammar and the stationary U3 time mode, the theory provides a physical mechanism for entanglement that moves beyond the abstract formalism of standard quantum mechanics. The work derives correlation functions that predict small, measurable phase shifts relative to standard quantum mechanics and proposes four feasible experimental protocols to test these effects. These protocols, which utilize technologies like topological photonic waveguides and superconducting qubit graphs, offer clear falsification criteria for the HLV framework without violating relativistic locality.
