local hidden variable theories
Local hidden variable theories are theoretical frameworks in quantum mechanics that propose the existence of hidden variables to explain the probabilistic behavior of quantum systems while maintaining a local cause-effect relationship. These hidden variables are assumed to exist within the system and can account for the seemingly random outcomes of quantum experiments, without requiring non-local influences or communication.
