In 1935, Eins ein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) p oposed a Gedanken expe imen o

eme ging as a s a is ical app oxima ion. In his pape we in es iga e he possibili y
o his scena io.
To explo e his possibili y, Bell (1964) in oduced local hidden a iables, [2,3], in
addi ion o he o dina y space ime coo dina es, assuming ha hese a iables con ain
all he possible “elemen s o eali y” sugges ed by EPR, om which QM a ises s a is-
ically. Howe e , Bell’s heo em demons a ed ha he b oad class o classical local
Hidden Va iable Theo ies (HVT) exhibi s a is ical co ela ions sligh ly weake han
hose p edic ed by QM. These co ela ions a e exp essed as Bell’s inequali ies, which
cons ain classical HVT as a signa u e o i s non-local na u e. Consequen ly, acco d-
ing o Bell, only non-local HVT can econcile wi h QM p edic ions, bu hese heo ies
con lic wi h classical- ela i is ic locali y, po en ially iola ing Lo en z in a iance.
Howe e , hidden a iables was ne e men ioned by Eins ein as solu ion o he
incomple eness o QM, [3]. Bell’s heo em does no p eclude he exis ence o a clas-
sical heo y ha comple es QM i Local HVT (LHVT) do no co e all possible
classical- ela i is ic heo ies compa ible wi h he equi emen o ela i is ic causali y
and locali y1. This pape explo es such a possibili y, applying he EPR a gumen o
a classical- ela i is ic heo y ha ex ends beyond QM, [6–16]. This heo y, o mally
p o en o be s a is ically indis inguishable om s anda d QM, a oids hidden a iables

ema kably, emains consis en wi h classical- ela i is ic locali y while s ill iola ing
Bell’s inequali ies.
Classical Mechanics (CM), enamed he e o con enience Gene al Classical

we dis inguish wo se s o BCs wi h he abo e compa ibili y wi h he PSA, wi h wo

The i s subclass o Gen-CM is no hing bu he common S anda d Classical

e med in his pape S anda d BCs (S d-BCs2).
The PSA equally allows ano he choice o BCs — o en o e looked — minimizing
he ac ion a he bounda y as much as o he S d-BCs. I in ol es combina ions
o Di ichle o Neumann BCs, as well known om s ing o Kaluza-Klein heo ies

Pe iodic Bounda y Condi ions (PBCs) — which can be w i en as combina ion o

Finally, we mus no e ha Cyclic-CM doesn’ in ol e any hidden a iables, being
