I am not a physicist, but Wolfram covers this.

"Because there’s a theorem (Bell’s Theorem) that says that unless there’s instantaneous non-local propagation of information, no such “hidden variables” model can reproduce the quantum mechanical results that are observed experimentally."

Wolfram's continues by saying he is allowing instantaneous non-local propogation because network nodes have no coordinates; coordinates (and dimensions themselves) arise as a result of how nodes are connected.

"And even though the network may mostly correspond on a large scale to 3D space, it’s perfectly possible for there to be 'threads' that join what would otherwise be quite separated regions."

He has changed the definition of locality.
