 Shimony, in several of his writings (Shimony 1978, 1983, 1984a,b, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991) spoke of “peaceful coexistence” between special relativity and quantum theory. The meaning of this varied. In its initial formulation (1978), “peaceful coexistence” had to do with regarding experimental outcomes as transitions from potentiality to actuality, something that, Shimony says, requires further investigation to be understood. In later writings, peaceful coexistence is “suggested” by the fact that quantum correlations cannot be exploited for superluminal signalling (Shimony 1983), though still associated with the notion that quantum mechanics motivates a change in our conception of an event (Shimony 1984a), and involves the requirement of a coherent meshing of events as described with respect to different reference frames (1986). In other works peaceful coexistence seems to be simply identified with the impossibility of exploiting quantum correlations for signalling (Shimony 1984b, 1990, 1991). Convinced by Bell (1990) that anthropocentric considerations such as manipulability have no place in considerations of fundamental physics, Shimony became dissatisfied with this avenue of approach to reconciling relativity and quantum theory (Shimony 2009, 489).
