But as we have already discussed in Section II, and as Bell was perfectly aware, a violation of Equation 10 does not necessarily indicate the presence of any nonlocal causation in the candidate theory in question.
Local Causality and Completeness: Bell vs. Jarrett
But that only matters if we drop what Bell calls “fundamental relativity” and instead read SR instrumentally, as prohibiting superluminal signalling but allowing in principle superluminal causation (so long as it can’t be harnessed by humans to transmit messages).
Local Causality and Completeness: Bell vs. Jarrett
We have already argued that, if one follows Bell in requiring λ to constitute a complete state description, then a violation of Jarrett’s “completeness” can only be understood as indicating the presence of nonlocal causation.
Local Causality and Completeness: Bell vs. Jarrett
The correct conclusion is therefore as follows: a violation of Jarrett’s “completeness” condition (where we are openly agnostic about the completeness of the state description λ) means either that we have relativityviolating nonlocal causation, or that we were dealing with incomplete state descriptions.
Local Causality and Completeness: Bell vs. Jarrett
There will of course still be difficult questions about how to decide whether a given candidate theory is true, and hence whether the particular sort of non-local causation contained in it accurately describes some aspect of Nature.
