    It is not the case that A violation of Outcome Independence (OI) implies spatiotemporal non-separability

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Spatiotemporal separability admits multiple precise formulations (Earman, Howard) that are not all logically equivalent.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The entailment from separability to OI holds only under Howard's strong holism-denying formulation, not under weaker variants.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A violation of OI therefore implies only that Howard's specific strong separability fails, not spatiotemporal non-separability per se.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Bohmian mechanics violates OI through the quantum potential yet remains committed to particles with definite spatiotemporal trajectories.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If a theory can violate OI while preserving well-defined spatiotemporal particle locations, spatiotemporal non-separability is not a necessary consequence of OI-violation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Spatiotemporal separability implies Outcome Independence (OI)
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If a condition implies OI, then a violation of OI implies a violation of that condition
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
