 Important for our purposes here is the qualification that \(\lambda\) does not causally depend on the measurement setting \(\alpha\). This assumption is referred to as “measurement independence” (\(\lambda\) is “conditionally independent” of \(\alpha\)). This assumption is explicitly violated by allowing retrocausal influences to be at play in the system. Thus, in so far as the no-go theorems are underpinned by the ontological models framework, the no-go theorems are no longer applicable to models that allow retrocausality. And in so far as there is motivation to avoid the consequences of the no-go theorems for quantum theory, retrocausality is well placed to provide such a model (or so the argument goes). Notably, it has been argued that admitting retrocausality (i) makes it possible to account for the correlations entailed by quantum theory using action-by-contact causal influences (and so ensures Lorentz invariance); (ii) undermines as implausible the assumption of (certain types of) noncontextuality from the outset; and (iii) may enable an independently attractive \(\psi\)-epistemic interpretation of the wavefunction underpinned by local hidden variables. These arguments are addressed in turn.
