• Strictly speaking, CQM is not a hidden variable theory. The CQM explanation of the Aspect experiment is actually quite similar to the QM explanation, except that it gives a local, deterministic picture of where angular momentum is conserved on a particle-by-particle basis based on a Fourier optics model and the statistics of an inefficient detector. Probability waves are replaced by real electromagnetic waves. There is a subtle set of hidden assumptions in the construction of the local hidden variable theory (LHVT) straw man as set up in the Aspect experiment that does not consider the existence of a third class of theories exemplified by CQM: • No conceivable LHVT could account for wave-particle duality • The Aspect experiment forces particles to display particle-like behavior • Particle-like LHVT models must have linear probability distributions for the characteristics of randomly-selected particles because there is no good reason to have a nonlinear distribution A plane-wave-like
