Pretty sure any life force wouldn't be local, and would be faster-than-light..

I don't know how you can be pretty sure about any of that, but I look forward to the faster-than-light signaling devices we can build from this new revelation about nature.

That’s irrelevant. These terms don’t mean anything in isolation. You just picked the two terms on the Wikipedia page on Bell’s theorem that allow you to escape the restrictions of quantum nondeterminism.

But you missed the fact that they don’t allow you to violate causality. In the context of our discussion this means that they cannot be used to circumvent quantum indeterminacy because that would break physical causality.

The idea that a life force can violate causality is based on the fact that theories on life/god/spirit center around infinity, and possibly related to the multiverse.

Now, figure out a way to test it.

What you’re saying is just paraphrase for “ignore physics”. If you’re willing to do that, then why bother with quantum mechanics etc at all?

If it can be tested, then it's not "ignore physics".

I keep telling you, it has been tested, and disproved — countless times. That’s what “contradicted by Dirac’s equation” means. If you insist on ignoring that evidence then, yes, you are absolutely ignoring physics.
