In this context, "local" means: No spooky action that is faster than light. However spooky you might think the superdeterministec correlations are, superdeterminism implements them entirely without breaking the speed of light, so in the established terminology, it is local.
- lmm 4y agoTechnically yes, but only by positing a spooky magic correlation that is unobservable and obeys no regular physical law. I mean, you can produce a theory that's equivalent to superdeterminism by taking a regular nonlocal hidden variable theory and saying "no, the information doesn't travel faster than light, it travels backwards in time along one particle's worldline to the point where the particles were together and then forward in time along the other particle's worldline, so that it ends up in a different place at the same time. Totally different from travelling faster than light!"
- lupire 4y agoYes, superdeterminism is a theory that local and nonlocal hidden variables are the same. Remember, Pell's inequality theorem is definitely true, mathematicallly. The only way to disagree with it physically is to say that the premises are not physical on our Universe.
