Magnetic-Basis Entanglement Chronoscopy in the Aether Physics Model This preprint develops a ledger-first quantification of attosecond, channel-resolved photoionization time delays in helium using the Aether Physics Model (APM) and Quantum Measurement Units (QMU). The central move is to recast the experimentally extracted group delay (Wigner--Smith / Eisenbud--Wigner--Smith delay) into a dimensionless "delay-count" that is native to QMU primitives: () Fq = 12dd, EEC, C mₑ c². this form, attosecond chronoscopy becomes a direct measurement of phase-slope in normalized energy, without requiring SI seconds in the main derivation. The paper then proposes a minimal "Aether-attachment" ansatz for interelectronic coherence and entanglement unfolding. The outgoing photoelectron is modeled as a compact Compton-function excitation whose finite-time linkage to the residual ion is mediated by the magnetic-charge basis and the Aether unit through a photon-action closure of the form = Aᵤ\, eₑmax^2. Ledger One closure, written generically asᵤ curl = c², photon-action atom closes directly on the QMU primitive set, motivating a magnetic-basis treatment for the attachment/exchange mechanism. A two-channel residual-ion subspace is coupled by a transient linkage (t) = g₀\, e^-t/₄₍ₓ, t 0, a second-order, level-repulsion-like phase imprint on the channel difference. A geometric overlap argument fixes the coherence fraction as\ = \, , is interpreted geometrically via scale separation between the electron torus minor radius (classical radius scale rₑ) and the Bohr organization radius (₀) through\^2 = rₑ₀. ₄₍ₓ parameterized on the Bohr-period scale, the resulting contrast delay obeys a falsifiable collapse prediction: \ N () \, () ^2 constant, () EEC. () is re-parameterized about a reference ₀ for numerical stability inside a chosen data window. This "collapse test" is proposed as an immediately checkable diagnostic in channel-resolved TDSE outputs or future streaking/RABBIT experiments: if the Aether-attachment mechanism captures the dominant scaling, plotting N\, ^2 versus should yield a near-flat curve for fixed dressing conditions. The manuscript anchors the model to a published helium benchmark channel-contrast 232~as, converting this directly into a QMU normalization target N 2. 9 10^4 and deriving an explicit constraint algebra for the combined dimensionless prefactor. The narrative is connected to the author's companion APM photoelectric series on photon-action transport, coherence-window quantization, and cardioid photon expansion, which provide additional context for photon-action-mediated exchange. This work is intended as a draft scaffold for targeted falsification: it specifies which measured or simulated quantities are required (channel phases/delays, fitted () ), what plots to make (collapse and rescaling checks), and what parameter combinations are constrained by the helium benchmark.
