The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

In unitary quantum mechanics, when the Bell scenario is formulated in the Heisenberg picture, a strictly local explanation emerges.

C2weakest assumption

That reformulating the Bell scenario in the Heisenberg picture of unitary quantum mechanics produces a valid local hidden-variable model that satisfies all conditions of Bell's theorem without hidden non-locality or contradiction.

C3one line summary

Bell correlations admit a strictly local explanation in the Heisenberg picture of unitary quantum mechanics.
