The presence or absence of correlations between distant parts of something, means anything and everything beyond local, in fact, nonlocal interactions could play equally any role so long as one accepts the fact that the amount of “lost information” is not in any way quantifiable in the first place. This simply goes against common sense. In fact it contradicts observations for which quantum mechanics offers a reasonably explanatory mechanism.

The best one can do is consider a thought experiment in which such correlations are excluded/tampered by increasing their time separation. Then what is left unchanged? What remains constant? Which quantity must remain constant for the correlations (a very particular kind) to still hold? This can be answered and observed quite clearly by following Stephen’s own ideas and those developed recently by him and collaborators but even all these need not apply beyond the possibility that information was also lost in accordance with standard quantum physics. After all, that’s essentially what Stephen has done here and elsewhere.

Yes, Stephen’s solution certainly contains some elements developed earlier; but an exhaustive analysis also considers implications for how much information would need to be restored together with sufficient energy resources to re-establish the correlations while simultaneously preventing them from spreading too quickly; this suggests that it is theoretically possible to completely prevent any possibility whatsoever for signals to traverse the spacetime fabric (or space–time more generally), even if – at least in part – one might want some “signal” (as Stephen considers energy packets) appearing to do so without requiring these to satisfy causality i.e., there would be no reason for them to not pass through at greater speeds - because they are not real signals traversing at any speed relative to lightlike geodesic paths - rather, they are being carried along locally within fields along geodesics).
