Do you understand anything about information theory at all, except what you've learned from pop-sci books? Since you are clearly incapable of answering the question of how Bob can extract information about Alice's settings "just by looking at his outcomes," this discussion has come to an end.

Good riddance! Like I told you before. No-signalling means Bob can't learn ANYTHING about Alice's settings just by looking at his outcomes and vice versa. Mathematically, this means the mutual information between Bob's outcomes and Alice's settings should not be significantly different from zero. This is a precise mathematical fact. The mutual information quantifies the amount of information Bob(Alice) can learn about Alice's (Bob's) settings just by looking at their own outcomes. I don't expect that you will ever understand this as usual, since the only thing you know about for sure is trolling.

So for the last time, I don't need to develop or explain how Alice and Bob can use this to communicate. All I have to demonstrate is that the mutual information in your so-called quantum model is non-zero and that kills it. So keep deluding yourself that I must first use your model to communicate before you will accept the argument. That is irrational and illogical.

I don't think it is possible to construct A and B measurement functions that make any physical sense for non-local behavior. Does the "entanglement" of the particles all of a sudden jump to include the measurement apparatus? If so, it is pure silliness.

So far you have demonstrated exactly nothing.

I don't think anyone would take this model seriously as an explanation of what the actual physical mechanism is. After all, it's just a numerical sampling af the QM joint distribution, so it provides no deeper understanding than what can be gained from the QM distribution itself. But it was not meant to be providing a deeper physical understanding, it was a response to minkwe's claim:

I think looking at what they come up with and the difficulties they face will be instructive.

The model clearly matches QM and all the required conditions like no-signalling. And we faced no difficulties.

I was just talking in general terms not about your model specifically.

No matter what setting Alice chooses, the probability distribution on Bob's end will still be 50/50. And of course if you had known even a whiff about quantum mechanics you would know that entanglement requires a distribution that depends on both a and b, but still is consistent with the no-signalling theorem.

For this model implemented in R see https://rpubs.com/heinera/16727

Of course you don't understand what it means to send information. It means the mutual information between Alice's setting and Bob's outcome and vice versa is significantly non-zero. Which means Bob can learn something about Alice's settings just by looking at his outcomes and vice versa. Which is obviously the case for Richard's model and yours.

My model has zero mutual information between Alice's setting and Bob's outcome.
