    "abstract": "Action-at-a-distance is a generic property of physical theories. As such, it\nis not a fruitful idea in theory building. Its absence confers a rigidity on a\ntheory which we exemplify through analysis of long-range correlations of the\nEPR-type in relativistic theories. Rigidity is desirable for fundamental\ntheories, and theory building should focus on structurally unstable properties,\nmaking action-at-a-distance a side issue. Though apparent superluminal effects\nseem to be present in many present-day physical theories, we maintain that they\nare not a basis for action-at-a-distance.",
