Superdeterminism says you and a remote partner could decide to use the
digits of Pi to pseudorandomly select angles of measurement in a Bell
experiment, then decide to use the digits of Euler's number. Yet
somehow, the universe knew you and your friend had this agreement to
use these digits of these constants,
You keep anthropomorphizing the universe to make super-determinism sound
ridiculous. It's nothing more that taking determinism completely
seriously, no free will by experimenters. The choice of you and your
friend was determined by the past. That's all determinism means.
such that when it generated single pairs of photons, those photons
would have just the right properties for QM statistics to not be
violated. Also, the universe knew when you would decide to switch to
use Euler's number, which perhaps was decided by the closing price of
the stock market, all this information the universe knew and took into
account when generating paired photons and embedding a single hidden
variable with that photon.
Yes, because all those things were determined by what came before them.
This is what Superdeterminism implies. Superdeterminism is very
different from regular/plain "determinism", which every physical
theory is (with the sole exception of wave function collapse).
All other physical theories assume that experimenters can make free
choices independent of the past history of the world.
