Entanglement suppression in the strong-interaction S matrix is shown to be correlated with approximate spin-flavor symmetries that are observed in low-energy baryon interactions, the Wigner S U ( 4 ) symmetry for two flavors and an S U ( 16 ) symmetry for three flavors. We conjecture that dynamical entanglement suppression is a property of the strong interactions in the infrared, giving rise to these emergent symmetries and providing powerful constraints that predict the nature of nuclear and hypernuclear forces in dense matter.
