Abstract

A physical theory is called locally causal if any correlation between spacelike separated events is screened-off by local beables completely specifying an appropriately chosen region in the past of the events. In this paper I will define local causality in a clear-cut framework, called local physical theory which integrates both probabilistic and spatiotemporal entities. Then I will argue that, contrary to the claim of Seevinck and Uffink (2011), complete specification does not stand in contradiction to the free variable (no-conspiracy) assumption.
