  We argue that some of the parameters in the laws of Nature would be well
understood, under the assumption that there is an influence from the future as
well as from the past, in the sense that the principle of locality is not valid
at the fundamental level. However, locality is supposed to be broken only in
the mild way that all the non-local influence comes from integrals over the
whole of space-time and acts at all moments and all places with the same
effect. Thus the observable effects of the lack of locality can only be seen in
the constants of Nature. Our cleanest prediction is the Higgs boson mass being
149 +/- 26 GeV, which in addition assumes that the pure Standard Model is valid
until the Planck scale. Adding the assumption that the two vacuum states needed
in our model come about naturally requires a strong first order transition
between them; together with the assumption of the Planck units being
fundamental, this leads us to also predict the top quark mass as 173 +/- 5 GeV,
and a more precise value of the Higgs boson mass as 135 +/- 9 GeV. With the
assumption of the anti-grand unified group SMG x SMG x SMG (three copies of the
Standard Model gauge group, one for each generation), it is also possible to
successfully predict the three fine structure constants in the Standard Model.
We also discuss the extension of the SMG x SMG x SMG group by an extra abelian
factor U(1)_f and the fermion mass matrices in this model. Other vacua than the
present one might appear in the future due to human activity. The breaking of
locality is really of the same mild character as suggested by baby universe
theory, so the present work may be considered as a development of baby universe
theory.
