  We argue that it is logically possible to have a sort of both reality and
locality in quantum mechanics. To demonstrate this, we construct a new
quantitative model of hidden variables (HV's), dubbed solipsistic HV's, that
interpolates between the orthodox no-HV interpretation and nonlocal Bohmian
interpretation. In this model, the deterministic point-particle trajectories
are associated only with the essential degrees of freedom of the observer, and
not with the observed objects. In contrast with Bohmian HV's, nonlocality in
solipsistic HV's can be substantially reduced down to microscopic distances
inside the observer. Even if such HV's may look philosophically unappealing to
many, the mere fact that they are logically possible deserves attention.
