This article challenges the standard interpretation of Bell's theorem by proposing a strictly local explanation for quantum entanglement using the Heisenberg picture and universal application of quantum mechanics. It argues that classicality itself requires a quantum account rather than serving as an external framework to explain quantum phenomena, directly addressing foundational issues in quantum theory.
Another Triumph of Locality: Colliding Histories Skew Handshakes
arXiv:2604.05455v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: From gravity to electromagnetism, apparent action at a distance has always been resolved by deeper, local explanations. Yet today, Bell's theorem is widely interpreted as the death knell for local reality. In this chapter, I present the theorem in accessible terms, examine the three main strategies that attempt to preserve hidden variables, and argue that they share a common defect: the attempt to explain the quantum from the classical rather than the other way around. When quantum mechanics is applied universally, classicality itself is given a quantum account; and when the Bell scenario is formulated in the Heisenberg picture, a strictly local explanation emerges. This chapter serves as a non-technical front-end to Explaining Bell Locally (Proc. R. Soc. A).
