Why can't it be used to transmit information? Wouldn't we be able to capture the state and use that be turned into instructions the same way we use binary currently?

Binary is essentially just a series of "on" and "off" states that we capture and translate into instructions, so why can't we do that with entangled particles? Like position 6 translates into instructions F and position 2 triggers instructions B.

I know this is overly simplified but I do not follow that we can't send information this way when looking at it through this lense.

Watch these videos that explain the answer. Basically, the problem is that you can only use this to convey random information , which would be indistinguishable from not sending anything at all.
