P1. Materialism is the view that the sum and substance of everything that exists is exhausted by physical objects and processes and whatever supervenes causally upon them.

P2. The explanatory resources of materialism are therefore restricted to material objects, causes, events and processes.

P3. Neither nonlocal quantum correlations nor (in light of nonlocalizability) the identity of the fundamental constituents of material reality can be explained or characterized if the explanatory constraints of materialism are preserved.

P4. These quantum phenomena require an explanation.
