Retrocausal models for EPR

Huw Price, among others, has argued that much of the weirdness of quantum mechanics can be avoided if we are willing to accept the possibility of “retrocausation” (i.e. backwards causation). In particular, retrocausal interpretations of quantum mechanics promise to solve the incompleteness problem (namely that Quantum state descriptions do not assign determinate values to all the observable properties of a system at any one time), and hence also the Measurement Problem. Inspired by Price's "Helsinki" model of retrocausal quantum mechanics, I present a "toy" retrocausal model of the EPR thought experiment---a classic example of quantum weirdness. I then use this model to shows that a consistent, local, hidden-variables model of the EPR situation is possible. However, in solving the incompleteness problem, the model throws up some interesting metaphysics, which goes beyond the weirdness of retrocausation
