The particles 'intrinsic charge, mass and spin may then arise as nonseparable features of the world at the deepest level.

-
An interpretation of quantum mechanics that ascribes a nonlocalized position to a charged particle on its way through the apparatus is committed to a violation of spatiotemporal separability in the Aharonov-Bohm effect, since the particle's passage constitutes a nonseparable process.

On the other hand, lattice QFT cannot approximate the C*-algebras in the operator norm because the lattice algebras are separable whilst the CCR-algebra is nonseparable.
-
Finally, as it was clear while working on our 1982 paper that greater intertemporal substitution of labor was a way to produce more labor-input volatility in the model, as an alternative to our standard utility function we had also introduced one that was nonseparable over time in leisure.

(and other gauge theories) is increasingly common in physics, to treat the motion of the charged particles as a nonseparable process is to endorse a particular position on how quantum mechanics is to be interpreted.

-
a process may be nonseparable even though it involves objects without proper parts.

As Toraldo di Francia aptly summarizes: “Since any particle has certainly interacted with other particles in the past, the world turns out to be nonseparable into individual and independent objects.
