to clarify two things: one, that entanglement across time requires a connection between the particles (an exchange of energy),

Why does it require an energy exchange?

and two, that my hypothesis is not dependent on entanglement, but rather on the collective unconscious.

Then why bring it up?

As evidence for the inter-temporal entanglement requiring an exchange of energy: "Transactional interpretation:
Some interpretations of quantum mechanics, like the transactional interpretation, explain this concept by suggesting that "time-reversed waves" can travel from the future to the past, creating connections between particles across time."

Interpretations are not theories. They are ways of thinking about theories to help one understand the outcomes, but do not contain any physics that’s not in the actual theory.

Anything traveling backward in time will have a partner traveling forward. Energy will be conserved. But the waves in the transactional interpretation are wave functions, which don’t contain energy, so this is moot.

It's unknown how the particles exchange energy across time, but they must have some means of interacting with each other.

There’s no interaction.

No. Apart from the local interactions that produced the entanglement in the first place, the correlation between separated particles is non-causal. An indication that the correlation is non-causal is that experiments have shown that the correlation can act faster-than-light and even backwards-in-time. Although you might not regard acting faster-than-light or backwards-in-time as an impediment to the view that the correlation between entangled particles is a communication between the particles, in fact it should be considered a strong indicator that the correlation between entangled particles is not a communication between the particles.
