    Challenges→A violation of Outcome Independence (OI) implies spatiotemporal non-separability

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Bohmian mechanics violates outcome independence while maintaining definite particle trajectories, demonstrating separability without OI.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.OI-violation requires only correlated measurement outcomes, not spatiotemporal entanglement of particle positions themselves.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Non-separability concerns physical states, while OI concerns epistemic constraints on prediction—these are logically distinct requirements.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.If particles have definite locations yet violate OI, something non-local must coordinate outcomes—this is spatiotemporal non-separability.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Preserving particle locations while violating OI merely relocates the problem: the mechanism ensuring correlated positions itself requires holistic description.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Well-defined locations cannot explain OI-violation without action-at-a-distance, which constitutes spatiotemporal non-separability by definition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
