The light/matter hybrid is a wave packet(photon) and the way wave packets reach equal energy is unlike the complexity of atoms. The soliton formation process involves both constructive and destructive interference of waves. In a dark mode soliton formation, energy is not lost to the far field in this wave equalization process. These discordant waves just interact until all their differences are removed. This is a thermodynamic process of entanglement. Any enclosed system that does not loose energy to the far field will eventually become entangled at a common quantum level. This is basis in thermodynamics.
