Bruno,
Are you saying that 3p determinacy and locality are sufficient to satisfy Bell's theorem?

You need physical realism. Something like Einstein principle of reality (if without perturbing a system, I can predict with certainty an outcome, then there is an element of reality to it).

The MW, that is pure QM without collapse, satisfies those three conditions. The non-locality is an illusion coming from our abstraction from the existence of the superposed states in which we are in.

The same with comp, except that the wave itself becomes a similar "illusion" capable of being explained by arithmetic only.

If those 3 assumptions are valid then Bell's inequality can NEVER be violated.

We do not know for a fact that the multiverse even exists, and even if it does those other universes are about as non-local as you can get.

The point is logical and does not depend on the existence of a multiverse. The point is that Bell's inequality violation is seen in one branch, and that it entails physical non locality only if that branch is unique.

All universes or branches of the multiverse are local. You can even define them by step of events close for interactions.



The only branch we know to exist for sure is our local universe, and in our local universe Bell's inequality is violated.

Yes, and a multiverse restores 3p determinacy and locality. That's the point.



And even if those other universes are real Bell's inequality is violated there too, provided of course that High School algebra and trigonometry still works.

Yes, and so, for those inhabitants who believe in determinacy and locality, they are forced to assume the presence of the other branches, like ours.




> MW restores 3p determinacy, and it restores 3p locality

I should have asked this long ago but who exactly is this third person?

Just read the original papers.
- In comp, anyone locally not duplicated, and observing a duplication of someone else, can play the needed role asked for defining a 3p view. - In Everett QM, the 3p is an external view of the solution of the SWE, and the 1-views are the record of the observers obeying to that wave.

In both case, the 1p are given by the memory records of duplicated or superposed states, and the 3p is the view from those who observe the "whole" system.


Can you give me his phone number or at least his Email address?

So funny ...
