In theories that try to explain the correlations of entangled photons with local models, it is commonly assumed that the particles of a photon pair are connected by common hidden parameters generated at the source. Is this assumption tenable? Phenomena such as entanglement swapping or teleportation result in entangled photons that do not come from a common source. Therefore, they cannot carry a common statistical parameter. That nevertheless a local realistic model is possible is shown in "What connects entangled photons"
