superdeterminism

Etymology
.

Noun

 * 1)  A form of determinism that precludes the assumption, made by Bell's theorem, that an experimenter can make measurements that are independent of each other and of any hidden variables.
 * 2) * 2016,, The Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, Fundamental Theories of Physics: Volume 185, Springer, page 4,
 * Bell noticed that superdeterminism could provide a loophole around his theorem, but as most researchers also today, he was quick to dismiss it as "absurd". As we hope to be able to demonstrate, however, superdeterminism may not quite be absurd as it seems.

 * Superdeterminism is frequently acknowledged as experimentally unclosed loophole (see e.g., [2]) with which one can explain deterministically the observed violations of Bell's inequality. However, for a variety of reasons, many physicists think Superdeterminism is a non-starter.

Usage notes

 * The assumption (made by Bell's theorem) that measurements can be chosen and performed that are independent both of each other and of the hidden variables that would determine the measurement outcome may be referred to as or.
 * This assumption is also sometimes referred to as the "free choice" or "free will" assumption, since its negation implies that human experimenters are not free to choose which measurement to perform.
 * Consequently, superdeterminism is often characterised as the absence of free will.
