Abstract
In this Chapter we summarize the main results of this book and investigate their philosophical consequences. We argue that embracing noncommuting “beables” in our ontology significantly extends our explanatory sources in accounting for correlations. We also examine what price we need to pay for abandoning classicality in order to preserve local causality.
