Quantum queries associated with equi-partitioning of states and multipartite relational encoding across space-time

In the first part of this paper we analyze possible quantum computational capacities due to quantum queries associated with equi-partitions of pure orthogonal states. Special emphasis is given to the parity of product states and to functional parity. The second part is dedicated to a critical review of the relational encoding of multipartite states across (space-like separated) space-time regions; a property often referred to as "quantum nonlocality."
