Thanks for your helpful comments, Robert. I should make it clear that Bell’s view of what the beables are is not the only view, or the best. Spontaneous collapse and Everettian theories I think agree with the consistent histories approach that subspaces of the Hilbert space are the beables.
And you are right that I should clearly distinguish retrocausation from retrodiction. The latter certainly doesn’t entail the former, and I don’t want to seem to be implying otherwise. I will read the article you suggest.
