But how you come up with prediction?RUTA said:You're not seeing the picture. Imagine a field in the spacetime region between Source emission, detector settings (polarizer or SG magnet orientations, for example) and the detector outcomes for a particular trial in the Mermin device. With CFD that field would contain R and G for each setting for each side (Alice and Bob) no matter what the actual settings are. You can imagine three stripes, for example, on each side with each stripe being R or G corresponding to each possible detector setting. That's CFD or what Mermin calls "instruction sets." Now a realistic no-CFD field would have only one color R or G on each side for the actual outcome corresponding to the actual settings of Alice and Bob.
Say I take many spacetime regions where the source part looks the same and then look at all possible outcomes with different measurement settings. As I don't "see" the field between, I can't group spacetime regions based on differences there. This would be part of the process for coming up with prediction.
But considering the collection of spacetime regions I described we can now talk about CFD.
