  This paper implements in a simple but rigorous fashion a model of particle
interaction involving all paths within a quantum system, both for configuration
space and for spin. The model, which we call the space of all paths, leads to a
locally explicable conceptual framework for quantum mechanics. Using it we
present two counterexamples to Bell's theorem. Moreover, we show that the
result places severe constraints on possible viable interpretations of quantum
mechanics: Either an interpretation must in some form represent a quantum
system in terms of all paths within the system or, alternatively, the
interpretation must harbor "action at a distance." We take action-at-a-distance
as a reductio ad absurdum argument for our framework for quantum foundations,
since any mechanism in which causal effects can operate instantaneously across
vast distances would be completely unknown and magical, a near absurdity.
