I am thinking if Titles were available as a Type, I would associate items 2, 3, and 4 with item 1

During development of Version 1.0.0 I had Title as a valid Entity Type for a second, but then had misgivings since I was viewing it from the perspective of Notes, which is in Standard Calibre as book (title) Comments. However, your Proust Association example is an entirely different perspective that convinced me to add Title back as an Entity Type just now for Version 1.0.1.

Or perhaps there could be a way to create arbitrary entities without resort to arbitrary custom columns.

Yes, there is a way, and which I thought about doing last month, but deferred until someone decided that it was truly needed after they had time to use the initial EM functionality. That didn't take long (just a few hours). So, I will add that for Version 1.0.2.

IMO Associations need a Name, like Links and Notes, e.g. Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley are Mother and Daughter, whereas J.K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith are Joanne Rowling's pseudonyms.

This is a mixed bag. Pseudonyms really should be its own Custom Column (as in Job Spy's Pseudonym functionality). However, the relationship between 2 Authors is certainly an attribute of the EM Association for them, much like a Tag is for a Title. It is clear that Associations themselves could be Entities. This is for Version 1.0.
2. (updated)
Version 1.0.2 has been released.
