paper, Palmer does not seem to understand hidden variables.

Removing that assumption allows you to have violations of Bell's inequalities and keep "locality and determinism". However that also means that everything (including quantum states) is distinct in some hidden ways and it is hard to say anything about the world as no experimental results can be reproduced (conspiracy). Palmer says that this is not the case, there is no conspiracy. If that's the case he has to explain why (he uses some elaborate chaos theory to explain such a thing).</div> </div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> </div> <footer class="message-footer"> <div class="message-microdata" itemprop="interactionStatistic" itemtype="https://schema.org/InteractionCounter" itemscope> <meta itemprop="userInteractionCount" content="0" /> <meta itemprop="interactionType" content="https://schema.org/LikeAction" /> </div> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList "> </div> <div class="js-historyTarget message-historyTarget toggleTarget" data-href="trigger-href"></div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> </article> <!-- RSS here --> <article class="message message--post js-post js-inlineModContainer " data-author="msumm21" data-content="post-7136325" id="js-post-7136325" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Comment" itemid="https://www.physicsforums.com/posts/7136325/"> <meta itemprop="parentItem" itemscope itemid="https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/no-conspiracy-and-superdeterminism.1067203/" /> <span class="u-anchorTarget" id="post-7136325"></span> <div class="message-header"> <header class="message-attribution message-attribution--split"> <ul class="message-attribution-main listInline "> <li class="u-concealed"> <time class="u-dt" dir="auto" datetime="2024-12-07T14:03:29-0600" data-time="1733601809" data-date-string="Dec 7, 2024" data-time-string="2:03 PM" title="Dec 7, 2024 at 2:03 PM" itemprop="datePublished">Dec 7, 2024</time> </li> </ul> <ul class="message-attribution-opposite message-attribution-opposite--list "> <li> <span style="cursor:pointer;" data-xf-init="share-tooltip" data-href="/posts/7136325/share" aria-label="Share" role="button" rel="nofollow"> <i class="fa--xf fal fa-share-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </li> <li> #5 </li> </ul> </header> </div> <div class="message-inner"> <div class="message-cell message-cell--user"> <section class="message-user" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemid="https://www.physicsforums.com/members/msumm21.160360/"> <meta itemprop="url" content="https://www.physicsforums.com/members/msumm21.160360/" /> <div class="message-userDetails"> <span class="message-name"><span class="username " dir="auto" data-user-id="160360"><span itemprop="name">msumm21</span></span></span> <!--<h5 class="userTitle message-userTitle" dir="auto" itemprop="jobTitle">A PF Cell</h5>--> <!----> <!-- Start Member Achievements --> <!-- End Member Achievements --> </div> <div class="message-userExtras"> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt><i class="fa--xf fal fa-comments fa-fw" aria-hidden="true" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Messages"></i></dt> <dd>247</dd> </dl> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt><i class="fa--xf fal fa-thumbs-up fa-fw" aria-hidden="true" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Reaction score"></i></dt> <dd>28</dd> </dl> </div> <span class="message-userArrow"></span> </section> </div> <div class="message-cell message-cell--main"> <div class="message-main js-quickEditTarget"> <div class="message-content js-messageContent"> <div class="message-userContent lbContainer js-lbContainer " data-lb-id="post-7136325" data-lb-caption-desc="msumm21 · Dec 7, 2024 at 2:03 PM"> <article class="message-body js-selectToQuote"> <div itemprop="text"> <div class="bbWrapper">I watched it, but couldn't determine what Palmer was arguing for.

The theory does not contain things that Bell calls <i>local beables, </i>and without local beables the theory cannot be local in any serious Bell-like sense. The author draws some space-time diagrams when he claims that his theory is locally causal, but, as far as I can see, these space-time diagrams do not correspond to any formal part of the theory which, as I said, is not formulated in spacetime.</div> </div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> </div> <footer class="message-footer"> <div class="message-microdata" itemprop="interactionStatistic" itemtype="https://schema.org/InteractionCounter" itemscope> <meta itemprop="userInteractionCount" content="4" /> <meta itemprop="interactionType" content="https://schema.org/LikeAction" /> </div> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList is-active"> <ul class="reactionSummary"> <li><span class="reaction reaction--small reaction--1" data-reaction-id="1"><i aria-hidden="true"></i><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="reaction-sprite js-reaction" alt="Like" title="Like" /></span></li> </ul> <span class="u-srOnly">Likes</span> <bdi>DrChinese</bdi>, <bdi>PeterDonis</bdi>, <bdi>PeroK</bdi> and 1 other person </div> <div class="js-historyTarget message-historyTarget toggleTarget" data-href="trigger-href"></div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> </article> <!-- RSS here --> <article class="message message--post js-post js-inlineModContainer " data-author="Fra" data-content="post-7136434" id="js-post-7136434" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Comment" itemid="https://www.physicsforums.com/posts/7136434/"> <meta itemprop="parentItem" itemscope itemid="https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/no-conspiracy-and-superdeterminism.1067203/" /> <span class="u-anchorTarget" id="post-7136434"></span> <div class="message-header"> <header class="message-attribution message-attribution--split"> <ul class="message-attribution-main listInline "> <li class="u-concealed"> <time class="u-dt" dir="auto" datetime="2024-12-08T05:08:50-0600" data-time="1733656130" data-date-string="Dec 8, 2024" data-time-string="5:08 AM" title="Dec 8, 2024 at 5:08 AM" itemprop="datePublished">Dec 8, 2024</time> </li> </ul> <ul class="message-attribution-opposite message-attribution-opposite--list "> <li> <span style="cursor:pointer;" data-xf-init="share-tooltip" data-href="/posts/7136434/share" aria-label="Share" role="button" rel="nofollow"> <i class="fa--xf fal fa-share-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </li> <li> #8 </li> </ul> </header> </div> <div class="message-inner"> <div class="message-cell message-cell--user"> <section class="message-user" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemid="https://www.physicsforums.com/members/fra.76451/"> <meta itemprop="url" content="https://www.physicsforums.com/members/fra.76451/" /> <div class="message-userDetails"> <span class="message-name"><span class="username " dir="auto" data-user-id="76451"><span itemprop="name">Fra</span></span></span> <!--<h5 class="userTitle message-userTitle" dir="auto" itemprop="jobTitle">A PF Mountain</h5>--> <!----> <!-- Start Member Achievements --> <!-- End Member Achievements --> </div> <div class="message-userExtras"> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt><i class="fa--xf fal fa-comments fa-fw" aria-hidden="true" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Messages"></i></dt> <dd>4,232</dd> </dl> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt><i class="fa--xf fal fa-thumbs-up fa-fw" aria-hidden="true" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Reaction score"></i></dt> <dd>648</dd> </dl> </div> <span class="message-userArrow"></span> </section> </div> <div class="message-cell message-cell--main"> <div class="message-main js-quickEditTarget"> <div class="message-content js-messageContent"> <div class="message-userContent lbContainer js-lbContainer " data-lb-id="post-7136434" data-lb-caption-desc="Fra · Dec 8, 2024 at 5:08 AM"> <article class="message-body js-selectToQuote"> <div itemprop="text"> <div class="bbWrapper">I personally find it difficult to see how Palmers way of reasoning will produce predictive or explanatory value.<br /> It seems more like he is considering theoretically possible, but not very probable mechanisms.
