The simplest argument to make against the quantum connection signal in my
model is to say that local unitarity in the single-photon sub-Fock space
requires:

phi + arg<a,e,+|a,o,+> = pi/2

and the receiver "fringe" term is

sin(2theta)cos(phi + arg<a,e,+|a,o,+>) = 0 exactly in a unitary "screening"
or phase-renormalization preventing "telepathy" at all costs.  Does GOD
abhor quantum connection signals?  Is HE malicious after all?

Of course it is not obvious that the single-photon unitarity is relevant to
the photon-pair sub-Fock space in which arg<a,e+|a,o,+> may be anything like
in spontaneous broken symmetry of ferromagnetic ground states - because
the pair state norm is conserved under spin disentanglement. Thus, the
argument from single photon superpositions is not convincing apriori.
Let experiment decide!
