Abstract

Description

We argue that the participants of the discussion have overlooked an essential circumstance, in view of which Stapp's fifth proposition fails. The circumstance is that though $L$ and $R$ measurements, being causally separated, are not invariantly time ordered, quantum-jump hypersurfaces associated with the measurements are causelikewise ordered. Stapp's fifth proposition is true iff $L$ hypersurface precedes $R$ one; but within the limits of special relativity, it is impossible to determine the causelike order of those hypersurfaces. The entire Stapp's construct is revised.
