  "abstract": "Several recent sketches have proposed that quantum entanglement, treated as a local density, sources spacetime curvature through hand-written modifications of Einstein's equations. We systematize these proposals. Our central result is a no-go theorem: under diffeomorphism invariance, the Noether identity requires the divergence of any scalar-sector metric contribution to be parallel to the scalar gradient; the second-derivative structures appearing in the sketches violate this condition via an explicit Ricci obstruction, and therefore cannot arise from any local diffeomorphism-invariant action. The obstruction is constructive: we prove a covariant Hessian completion theorem showing that the Ricci term forbidding the isolated scalar Hessian dictates the curvature coupling F(S)R that completes it. We classify the completion: under five stated assumptions the four structures admit a common Bianchi-consistent scalar-tensor completion, unique up to free functions F, K, V (two after field redefinition). We give the completion explicitly, derive observational constraints (Cassini, varying G), and state what remains open.",
