If Gerard 't Hooft's deterministic account of Quantum field
is both realist and Lorentz invariant, it would contradict Bell's theorem
or Kochen and Specker theorem, or GHZ (Greenberger, Horn, Zeilinger),
... or it would be equivalent with Everett (accepting that quantum
contextuality + realism implies the "many-things").
