Query: Bell's theorem and the issue of determinism and indeterminism   The paper considers the claim that quantum theories with a deterministic
dynamics of objects in ordinary space-time, such as Bohmian mechanics,
contradict the assumption that the measurement settings can be freely chosen in
the EPR experiment. That assumption is one of the premises of Bell's theorem. I
first argue that only a premise to the effect that what determines the choice
of the measurement settings is independent of what determines the past state of
the measured system is needed for the derivation of Bell's theorem. Determinism
as such does not undermine that independence (unless there are particular
initial conditions of the universe that would amount to conspiracy). Only
entanglement could do so. However, generic entanglement without collapse on the
level of the universal wave function can go together with effective wave
functions for subsystems of the universe, as in Bohmian mechanics. The paper
argues that such effective wave functions are sufficient for the mentioned
independence premise to hold.
