Do hidden variable theories reject superposition of states?

wikipedia says hidden variables have many wave histories, does this mean hidden variables like pilot wave and t'hoofts have universes with many histories?

You may be reaching the limits of what wikipedia can do for you
- at some point there's no substitute for a decent textbook and/or teacher to get a solid foundation.But if you can provide a pointer to the specific wikipedia quote you're thinking about, we may be able to give you a better answer.
