• Abstract: In a recent paper (arXiv:2107.04761), Sen critiques a superdeterministic model of quantum physics, Invariant Set Theory, proposed by one of the authors. He concludes that superdeterminism is `unlikely to solve the puzzle posed by the Bell correlations'. He also claims that the model is neither local nor $\psi$-epistemic. We here detail multiple inaccuracies with Sen's arguments - notably that the hidden-variable model of quantum physics he uses to critique Invariant Set Theory bares no relation to Invariant Set Theory - and use this opportunity to lay out the properties of Invariant Set Theory as clearly as possible.

  Bohmian mechanics and spontaneous collapse models are theories that overcome the quantum measurement problem. There are trivial ways to make space-time theories Lorentz invariant, but the challenge is to achieve what Bell dubbed serious Lorentz invariance''

  We make a conceptual overview of an approach to the initial-value problem in canonical gauge theories. We stress how the first-class phase-space constraints may be relaxed if we interpret them as fixing the values of new degrees of freedom.

• Invariant Causal Set Covering Machines [64.86459157191346]
  Rule-based models, such as decision trees, appeal to practitioners due to their interpretable nature. However, the learning algorithms that produce such models are often vulnerable to spurious associations and thus, they are not guaranteed to extract causally-relevant insights. We propose Invariant Causal Set Covering Machines, an extension of the classical Set Covering Machine algorithm for conjunctions/disjunctions of binary-valued rules that provably avoids spurious associations.

  Exchangeability is a fundamental concept in probability theory and statistics. We show how a de Finetti-like representation theorem for finitely exchangeable sequences requires a mathematical representation which is formally equivalent to quantum theory.

• An alternative foundation of quantum theory [0.0]
  A new approach to quantum theory is proposed in this paper. The accessible variables are just ideal observations connected to an observer or to some communicating observers. It is shown here that the groups and transformations needed in this approach can be constructed explicitly in the case where the accessible variables are finite-dimensional.

  We introduce a novel group-equivariant architecture that incorporates a group-in hard alignment mechanism. We find that our network's structure allows it to develop stronger equivariant properties than existing group-equivariant approaches. We additionally find that it outperforms previous group-equivariant networks empirically on the SCAN task.

• Reply to superdeterminists on the hidden-variable formulation of Invariant-set theory [0.0]
  In a recent article, Hance, Hossenfelder and Palmer have advanced arguments to show that the analysis of Invariant-set theory in a hidden-variable setting is wrong. We explain here why these arguments are incorrect, and involve misunderstandings of the hidden-variable model in question and Bell's notion of local causality.

• Ontology in quantum mechanics [0.0]
  It is suspected that the quantum evolution equations describing the micro-world as we know it are of a special kind that allows transformations to a special set of basis states in Hilbert space. This would restore an ontological interpretation.

  Quantum systems governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with $PT$ symmetry are special in having real energy eigenvalues bounded below and unitary time evolution. We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.

  We present a family of topological quantum gravity theories associated with the geometric theory of the Ricci flow. First, we use BRST quantization to construct a "primitive" topological Lifshitz-type theory for only the spatial metric. We extend the primitive theory by gauging foliation-preserving spacetime symmetries.
