Quantumental said:I feel that Complete / Absolute / Total / Omni-determinism is a better word for it. SUPER sounds so.. weird. All it really is, is complete determinism. Which shouldn't be too hard to swallow if you already accept either Bohm or Many Worlds which is equally absolute in their determinism
Superdeterminism - under any name - is ridiculous. Just try to formulate in a scientific (and falsifiable) manner and you will see just how so!
For example: if all interactions are superdetermined and local and realistic (the reason superdeterminism was invented), then every particle in the universe must carry a complete copy of its "answer" to every measurement (question) possible - with every other particle in the universe to which it ever has or will interact. That is because entanglement can be swapped from particle X to particle Y and you never know which particle might be entangled with what other particle. Basically you are talking about an infinite amount of information being stored locally in every particle in the universe. Of course that information is "hidden" because there is no other evidence of it.
