Title: W as the Edge of a Wedge: Bell Correlations via Constrained Colliders

Authors: Huw Price
Abstract: In previous work with Ken Wharton, it was proposed that Bell correlations are a special sort of selection artefact, explained by a combination of (i) collider bias and (ii) a boundary constraint on the collider variable. This requires no direct causal influence outside lightcones, and may hence offer a new way to reconcile Bell nonlocality and relativity. This piece outlines a new argument for the proposal. It explains how it is valid for a special class of ('W-shaped') Bell experiments involving delayed-choice entanglement swapping, and argues that it can be extended to the general ('V-shaped') case.
Comments: 17 pages, 5 figures; this version adds a new title, some missing bibliographical information, and a few minor tweaks
