Absolutely.

Whether you call this an 'influence' or simple an 'effect of one measurement on the other', makes little difference.

I say that there is no space-separated instantaneous influence or effect. The non-locality, or Bell’s inequality violation just do no more reflect a physical action or influence, but a lack of knowledge about the initial spins, and indeed it is the same Alice and Bob distributed on all spins in all directions.


The point is that there is no information exchange in the normal Shannon sense of information, so there is no possibility of transmitting a message by this "influence”.

That is true too. But there is no influence at all.

In particular, there is no physical FTL transfer, and special relativity is not violated.

Indeed, no action or transfer of anything are needed to explain the apparent non locality measurable in all branches. But with one world, there is still no information transfer, but there need to be an influence at a distance. Not so in the relative state theory (at least coming from Bell’s inequality violation).

I guess you will never accept that this is simply not true. The relative state (Everett) theory is exactly the same as the collapse theory in requiring instantaneous space-like influences.
