It would be interesting to check where
Einstein actually wrote that dictum
(no FTL *information* trasfer).
Is it possible that E. had in mind no FTL
causation, no FTL influences, no FTL actions,
no FTL passions, and that the dictum is
a modern elaboration?

possible theoretical domains (Cirelson's bounds).
More or less so ...
1.Classical non-FTL correlation (ie two fragments of a
bomb): bound <2
2.Quantum non-FTL correlation: bound >2 but <2 2^1/2
3.Super-Quantum non-FTL correlation: bound >2 2^1/2 but
<2 2^1/2 2^1/2
4.Quantum FTL correlation: bound >2 2^1/2 2^1/2
Number 4. is completely unknown (does it correspond
to a deterministic quantum mechanics?) .
Number 1. is classical mechanics.
Number 2. is the usual quantum mechanics (Bell's bound).
Number 3. is rather unknown, in the sense that
people do not understand if superquantum non-FTL
correlations are really existing, or not, and why.
