By Bell’s theorem, an interpretation of QM must break either locality or causality. Linked below is the only interpretation I know of that chooses to maintain locality. (I don't know many.) Do you know of any others?

CAUSALLY SYMMETRIC BOHM MODEL

Cool. Thanks.

  • Copenhagen - Copenhagen is local? I didn't know that.
  • many worlds - Many worlds is local? I didn't know that either.
  • superdeterminism - Sounds crazy but I'll read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdeterminism
  • backward causation - I assume the causally symmetric Bohm model counts as one of these. Otherwise I can't find this interpretation.
  • noncommutative hidden variables - I hear Joy Christian is a crackpot Bell denier.
  • Your solipsistic hidden variables - Cool. I'll have to read this one ... if I can
