TAUP 2334-96 ACTION AND PASSION AT A DISTANCE An Essay in Honor of Professor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantum mechanics permits nonlocality—both nonlocal correlations and nonlocal equations of motion—while respecting relativistic causality. Is quantum mechanics the unique theory that reconciles nonlocality and causality? We consider two models, going beyond quantum mechanics, of nonlocality— “superquantum” correlations, and nonlocal “jamming” of correlations—and derive new results for the jamming model. In one space dimension, jamming allows reversal of the sequence of cause and effect; in higher dimensions, however, effect never precedes cause. ∗To appear in Quantum Potentiality, Entanglement, and Passion-at-a-Distance: Essays for Abner Shimony, R. S. Cohen, M. A. Horne and J. Stachel, eds. (Dordrecht, Netherlands: Kluwer Academic Publishers), in press.

2 According to the standard Aristotelian picture, in any given instance of motion or change the action and the passion are the very same entity – namely, the motion that exists within the subject and hence outside the agent. This entity can be looked at in two ways. Insofar as it emanates from the agent, it is called an action; insofar as it is received within the patient, it is called a passio...
