ERRATA  Communication on Quantum Connection

replace #18 eq. 26 by

#18  The FTL/BIT signal on the spin quantum connection is then

p[e(R),E(T)] - p[o(R),E(T)] = -sin{2theta(T,R)}cos{phi(T)+m}cos{b}  (26)

So that the nonlocally encoded message is locally decoded.

ADDENDUM to #20
One comment was "a unitary transformation conserves probability for
any state." This is false because it ignores Bohr's insight that the
total experimental arrangement is vital. For the pair state both sides
of the apparatus count. For the single photon state
[ |u> - |v>]/sqrt2 only the transmitter interferometer counts.
Said another way the pair state is in a different part of Fock
space than is the single photon state - so that there are
two different unitary matrices describing the evolution in
the two cases. This is an example of Bohr's general remark
"The essential wholeness of a proper quantum phenomenon
finds indeed logical expression in the circumstances that any
attempt at its well defined subdivision would require a change
in the experimental arrangement incompatible with the appearance of
the phenomenon itself."
