Fascinating article. By sheer coincidence, read another good article on Bell's theorem just this morning.

"For me, it is so reasonable to assume that the photons in those experiments carry with them programs, which have been correlated in advance, telling them how to behave. This is so rational that I think that when Einstein saw that, and the others refused to see it, ‘he’ was the rational man. The other people, although history has justified them, were burying their heads in the sand. … So for me, it is a pity that Einstein’s idea doesn’t work. The reasonable thing just doesn’t work." - John Stewart Bell

Perhaps this is obvious, but I see EPR-inspired experiments as only a special case of the way any wavefunction collapses everywhere on measurement (Einstein's "spooky action"). It seems experimental evidence strongly favors that we live in a reality with non-local aspects (limited by SR). One seems forced to conclude that spatial extent can't be what it naively appears to us. Something there is that doesn't love a lightspeed limit.

Even if this were correct (and I don’t believe it is), there are plenty of experiments which demonstrate Bell’s theorem without the need for Bell’s inequality. A good example are three-photon entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states.

I’m not playing this game. Why don’t you show me how your theory shows how 3-photon GHZ states can prove Bell’s theorem without the need for Bell’s inequality?
