Hi Horace. You write: The only way the final outcome of any such process can affect the 16 possible outcomes is to change their frequency. This is true no matter how many dimesions from which those final outcomes are chosen. This is true even if an infinite number of angels ride with each

I posted in a hurry earlier as I was leaving the house. Some corrections follow. Flow is about 154 ft^3/sec, thus channel is running about 5.5 feet deep. If you want to eliminate horizontal vortices, run a vertical vortex and thus run the pump at lower amperage, simply add some horizontal vanes

The problem with explaining an Aspect style experiment by hidden variables boils down to explaining 3 results which, taken together, appear to eliminate the possibility of hidden variables and require faster than light communicaton. These are: 1. Alice and Bob each use 3 mutually orthogonal

Hi Horace. you write: Something looks a bit magical about 4 dimensions with the all-4-spins-alike combinations getting a special treatment, though there is no apparent physical justification. Yes, I was hoping four would suffice. It's interesting to me that adding more dimensions drives the
