The ultimate conclusion of Quantum Physics, that properties don't exist until they are measured, makes all the preceding 'requirements' of a valid physical theory (say for example symmetry) risible.
I am with Einstein in believing this is impossible. Einstein penned the 'EPR Paradox," but then after his death Bell created Bell's Theorem, which proves that properties are either non-local, or don't exist until they are measured, proven by endless entanglement experiments by Physicists.
Looking at the math, I suggested what we might have is a 2D universe, that might make the Bell inequalities equal. So rather than there being hidden properties, as Einstein imagined, with more information, there is actually less information than we think there is.
To make this work, the 2-D ness of the quantum domain would have to somehow, that I couldn't explain, give rise to the 3D universe we experience.
Anyway, from the 3D perspective, a 2D universe does represent non-locality!
Well, now I have a different explanation, from a particular sampling problem I've been looking at, where you have samples of samples. Rather than the utility of information being asymptotic, at some point the value of information will be negative, worse than presuming no information at all.
That produces both the seeming truncation effects of quantum theory, as well as Bell Theorem results.
Well what is the sampling here? I imagine it like this. Imagine that we 'see' only particular frames of a very high speed movie. We are sampling the true universe. Now further imagine that the particular frame we are sampling is not always the same number of frames apart, so being a different position each time in the bundle of frames surrounding it. So each time we 'measure' we are basing ourselves in a particular frame. We are sampling a sample.
Once again, this is a kind of non-locality. Things are connected to distant things in the frames we can't see.
There might be other ways of applying the sampling thing, I'm still working on the math of it.
