Is there some known property that is keeping the changes random? Or is it pure observation? Because if it is the latter then is it not correct to say that it is not known if FTL transmission can work?

QM says unmeasured quantities are uncertain, which shouldn’t seem odd on the surface.

Entanglement means measuring one thing is effectively equivalent to measuring a property of the other. It’s vaguely like randomly cutting a board in half and by measuring how long one board is you can figure out how long the other one is. The odd bit isn’t really measurement it’s all the oddity around what happens before something is measured.
