H.D.Zeh in THE DIRECTION OF TIME (Springer-Verlag, 1992) p.90 writes:
"In the formalism of quantum theory, the discussed nonlocality is
kinematical (a property of the state) , and, therefore more appropriately
called non-separability or entanglement. Until 1964 it was conceivable that
it might some day be explained in terms of statistical correlations between
hidden variable. Bell's (1964) analysis, based on gedanken experiments
discussed by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (1935) demonstrated however that
such a hypothetical structure behind quantum theory - even if not directly
observable in principle - would itslf have to possess nonlocal properties
in order to reproduce the predictions of quantum theory. Although these
nonlocalities could then have a dynamical origin (be caused by an action at
a distance) this action would have to act superluminally."

Indeed, in my gedankenexperiment (i.e. transmitter interferometer with
encoding phase plate in one path, half-wave plate in other, unitary beam
recombiner with 90 degree phase shift between reflected and transmitted
waves, and second coherent recombination of both inteferograms at a single
final transmitter counter giving variable controllable polarization at far
away receiver) this objectively real quantum action at a distance can be
measured in an unequivocal unambiguous way. This superluminal action is
relativistically invariant trivially since it is pre-metrical in John
Wheeler's "pregeometry" having no dependence on the space-time interval
separating the two detections of the the two photons in the same connected
pair.
