Weo?eraninterpretation ofsuperquantum correlations interms ofa“doubly” quantum theory. We argue that string theory, viewed as a quantum theory with two deformation parameters, the string tension α, and the string coupling constant gs, is such a superquantum theory that transgresses theusualquantum violations ofBell’sinequalities. Wealsodiscuss the → ∞limit of quantum mechanics in this context. As a superquantum theory,string theory should display distinctexperimentally observable supercorrelations ofentangled stringystates. 1.Introduction Inthispaper,wepresentanobservationrelatingtwo?eldsofphysicswhichareostensibly quite remote, namely, the study of the foundations of quantum mechanics QM centered around the violation ofthe celebrated Bell inequalities 1–3 and string theory ST 4–6.
