Another concept in this sort of realm is "Assembly Theory" by Lee Cronin. He's onto the right track with his "Causality Chain" concept, but it blows my mind he hasn't bought into the idea that with entanglement the entire chain might be a "signal carrier". He's 90% onto the right track. He just needs to realize the causality chain is "alive" at least in terms or probability waves, but as a chemist and not a Physicist he's probably afraid to delve to deeply into the realms of anything that smacks of retro-causation, even if it ever entered his mind. And I've tweeted this at him a lot, so it likely has. I'm sure he considers me a quack. Anything involving entanglement smacks of extreme quackery to the casual physics enthusiast. :)
