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!
