“…It is a common practice among the proponents of quantum nonlocality to ignore any physically meaningful interpretation of the relevant experiments. For example, a special issue on Quantum Nonlocality [18] does not mention at all any articles which disprove the concept of quantum nonlocality. Instead, rather contradictory statements were presented: "The quantum nonlocality also has an operational meaning for us, local observers, who can live only in a single world.…”

A physical scrutiny of experimental results published in Physical Review Letters (December 2015, M. Giustina, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 250401, and L. K. Shalm et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 250402) is undertaken. These articles reported that measured outcomes were fitted with quantum states possessing a dominant component of non-entangled photons, thereby contradicting their own claim of quantum nonlocality. With probabilities of photon detections lower than 0.1 %, the alleged quantum nonlocality cannot be classified as a resource for developing quantum computing devices, despite recent publicity. Experimental evidence of a feasible process for quantum-strong correlations has been identified (M. Iannuzzi, et al., Phys. Lett. A, 384 (9), 126200, 2020) in terms of correlations between independent and multi-photon states evaluated as Stokes vectors on the Poincaré sphere. As single-photon sources are not needed, the design and implementation of quantum computing operations will be significantly streamlined.

“…Moreover, the quantum paradigm seems to imply a worldview-different from (and more general than) that provided by the classical paradigms-based on the new tenet of nonlocality [30], in addition to the older one of causality. Additionally, it has given rise to mainly two (and somewhat related) foundational issues: the measurement problem and the problem of quantum-to-classical transition [31].…”

Since the beginning of the 21st century, a new interdisciplinary research movement has started, which aims at developing quantum math-like (or simply quantum-like) models to provide an explanation for a variety of socio-economic processes and human behaviour. By making use of mainly the probabilistic aspects of quantum theory, this research movement has led to many important results in the areas of decision-making and finance. In this article, we introduce a novel and more exhaustive approach, to analyze the socio-economic processes and activities, than the pure quantum math-like modelling approach, by taking into account the physical foundations of quantum theory. We also provide a plausibility argument for its exhaustiveness in terms of what we can expect from such an approach, when it is applied to, for example, a generic socio-economic decision process.

“…With ontological real waves and objective frequentist probabilities, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen's experiment [2] means backward causation [3][4][5][6]. Questioning causality is, of course, more serious than denying locality [7][8][9][10].…”

Arguments for a two boundary theory are briefly outlined. Plausible concepts of how in such a theory an approximate causal macroscopic theory can emerge are presented. A problem with simple implementations of the two boundary theory is that effective or real willful decisions can not be added as there is no consecutive macroscopic time ordering. In this letter, we present a somewhat drastic but beautiful way to avoid it.
