    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→In models that do not exclude violations of λ-independence, controllable probabilistic dependence is not a necessary condition for superluminal signaling.

    Controllable probabilistic dependence remains a necessary condition for *operationally meaningful* superluminal signaling, since uncontrollable correlations cannot transmit information between agents.

    Key Terms

    Controllable(as a condition for meaningful communication)
    Able to be managed, directed, or regulated by an agent or person.
    Transmit information(in communication theory)
    Send meaningful messages or data from one person or place to another in a way the receiver can understand and use.
    Uncontrollable correlations(in information and communication theory)
    Random or chance connections between things that nobody can regulate or direct, so they cannot be used to deliberately send messages.
    necessary condition(Counterfactual analysis of causation; Mackie 1965, 1974)
    A condition C is necessary for event E if E would not have occurred in the absence of C
    operationally meaningful(as used in philosophy of science and physics)

    probabilistic dependence(as used in quantum physics and logic)
    When one thing's probability or likelihood depends on another thing—like how the chance of rain depends on whether it's cloudy.
    superluminal signaling(Discussed as a theoretical consequence of λ-distribution in certain deterministic hidden variable theories)
    The transmission of information or causal influence at speeds exceeding light, made possible if distant outcome statistics depend on a nearby controllable factor
