No conspiracy and superdeterminism

[JuneSpring25]

TL;DR Summary

A new model for deterministic QM without conspiracy

Hello,

I found this paper by Tim Palmer really interesting, about trying to develop a determinist, hidden variables model that doesn't need 'conspiracy' to explain away experimental results around entanglement

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377513673_Superdeterminism_without_Conspiracy

Can anyone explain in more simple terms how Tim Palmer deals with the entanglement problem wtihout needing there to be some bizarre way of correlating the measurement device settings?

From what I have seen from him on YouTube, it could be different on paper, Palmer does not seem to understand hidden variables. Tim Maudlin criticizes him in this video and his comebacks are not very convincing:

I haven't read through that paper fully, but superdeterminism does not need the kind of explanation that Tim Palmer pines for. Superdeterminism is one interpretation of the physics behind the Bell inequality. There is no need for it to make "mechanical sense" beyond being consistent with observations.
