Further evidence for the EPNT assumptionWe recently proved a theorem extending the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) Theorem from multi-particle systems to two-particle systems. This proof depended upon an auxiliary assumption, the EPNT assumption (Emptiness of Paths Not Taken). According to this assumption, if there exists an Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky (EPR) element of reality that determines that a path is empty, then there can be no entity associated with the wave that travels this path (pilot-waves, empty waves, etc.) and reports information to the amplitude, when the paths recombine. We produce some further evidence in support of this assumption, which is certainly true in quantum theory. The alternative is that such a pilot-wave theory would have to violate EPR locality.
