I'd love to jump in here, Mitchell, but I'm slowly sinking below a workload (moving house, moving business, running business) that is keeping me on an 18 hour day, 7 day week at the moment... hence my current lack of activity on this site. I'm not ignoring you and may well get back to this in the next few days.
Just to point out:
cavediver is a representative of a respectable minority beginning with Einstein that stubbornly refuses to accept the death of determinism in physics, and who continue to hope that futher advances in physics will overturn this conclusion.
No, I'm not in that camp at all
And as big a problem to Einstein was the non-locality implied by EPR, as this seemed to speak directly against the Minkowksian causality of relativity.
Philosophically, I only believe in wave-functions - actually, quantum fields specifically - so from that you may see where my point of determinism originates. It's not that I don't believe in a quantum world - it's that I don't believe in a classical world
Anyway, when I get back, I would like to discuss with you where non-determinism and probability arises in qunantum mechanics - wave mechanics, "measurement", "collapse", etc. And I would like to stress the difference between probability, statistics and combinatorics, as all three play a role to some degree or other in EPR/Bell's Inequality. I should also stress that when I refer to decoherence, I'm refering to the strong version encompassed by "decoherent histories". This was never my field, though way back at the point of choosing my PhD thesis, i was invited to work with Isham on precisely this topic (and specifically addressing the problem of time from the POV of decoherent histories) so I always enjoyed learning and discussing its implications. Quantum Gravity and QFT are my own fields. However, I am now well over a decade from such times and my memory is fading fast
Hopefully catch up with you soon.
