Tim is right. Please put this lovely cone-shaped hat on and sit on the stool in the corner.
So, you agree with Tim May's statement that:
All that is revealed is a _correlation_, a kind of structure built into the Universe. Interesting, but not so weird as it seems. (And this is not any kind of "action at one site instantaneously changing the state far away." No more so than sending two envelopes out, one with a "1" inside and the other with a "0" inside changes things instantaneously.....)
You agree with the foolish statement that the behavior of correlated photons is no more weird than sending out two envelopes? I thought you had more sense than that. Are you under the impression that opening envelopes can in any way violate Bell's inequality, as measuring correlated photons can? Please! How do you explain the violation of Bell's theorem in QM? What is your nice, cozy, friendly, un-weird explanation? I'm curious whether you are going to sacrifice locality or reality. Somehow I think you'll have to go beyond what is necessary to explain the behavior of envelopes.
