Ah, thanks! So I this explains why you can’t send specific values:

If you force one side to change, it breaks the entanglement. UNLESS you modify the state in a way that you can compare the changes that led to the state later. I don’t really understand why that is, and will need to dig into the nested links to find out.

But! My question wasn’t actually about specific states, it was about changes in states. Which.. to me still seems possible.
