non-locality

Non-locality does not imply the possibility of FTL information transfer - a theory can be non-local but make exploiting the non-locality impossible.

Except the non-locality of QM is irrelevant to a device that is apparently a closed cavity.

But working with large heaps has proven very problematic, both in avoiding GC overheard, and in the effects of non-locality.

In fact BM inspired Bell to investigate non-locality, finally leading himto discover his famous inequalities.

Javascript and Coffeescript try to solve this in different ways, most people think that JavaScript's method sucks, and many are not fond of CoffeeScript's non-locality.

The code non-locality issue shouldn't be ignored, and is probably the largest issue with Roda, but the issue is probably going to happen with any approach that DRYs up the code to the same degree.

The explicit non-locality puts me off it.

D-wave will not add to the pile of evidence that already exists for quantum non-locality, it will not contribute to exploiting quantum non-locality for the purposes of time travel (if such a thing is even possible -- as we understand it, non-locality can't even be used to transmit information femtoseconds back in time), and it will not contribute to proving or disproving alternative theories for non-locality.

So instead of breaking c, we assume things with non-locality that particles 'spookily know'/are affected by things that may possibly be on the other side of the universe.

And if you have code with such a high density of jumps you will run into a lot of other problems, too, for example branch mispredictions and cache inefficiency due to non-locality.

I remember thinking as well, hey why don't we just accept non-locality, but, actually doing physics with it you end run into myriad headscratchers that even make the broken Copenhagen look attractive!

I'm not suggesting non-locality; I'm suggesting non-realism from a universal standpoint and thus the ability to control 'reality' lies in the ability of human beings to control quantum decoherence and quantum mechanics.

The more general answer to your question is that in fragment shaders, you can get "non-locality" via texture lookups inside the shader code.

> you can get "non-locality" via texture lookups inside the shader code.

"local" seems like a fairly large assumption for something hypothesized by at least some to work through quantum mechanics, of which a central tenant is non-locality.

So the previous posters are correct: momentum conservation, which is generally used to mean "local momentum conservation", is as deeply foundational to physics as Newton's laws, and the kind of observable-only-by-statistical-inference non-locality seen in QM is not known to have any impact on it.

Non-locality seemed for a time to explain why that is so: because collapse happened non-locally, it could happily violate the law of non-contradiction from the viewpoint of a Lorentz-invariant observer.
