I've read that as well, and I concur that popular opinion states that quantumly linked particles do not appear to violate causality, because we don't believe they are actually communicating at all, let alone communicating faster than light.
The way I interpreted this claim is that those particals are more akin to a deterministic algorithm, which is to say, once you set it free it will always result in the same answer based on the seed. I'm still very confused though about how those particles could remain in sync in vastly different spacetimes. That to me, is a flaw in the conjecture, and one that cannot be tested. We've based our understanding of quantum entanglement only upon that which we can observe, and so we truly don't know if a quantumly entangled particle will be "behind" if it is in a denser gravitational field. It's unprovable, because even if we were to travel into that spacetime, we could not escape to share the results with other observers.
Thank you again for your input. Your argument forced me to mentally reconcile "observable reality" from "actual reality", and that was a fun and intriguing thought experiment, albiet probably pointless since none of it can be proven. Our observations do not define reality, they only measure it to the best of our ability. And most of the time when we measure reality, apparently we fuck it up (i.e. breaking quantum links, or just having incorrect assumptions).
