Abstract
It is well-known in the physics community that the Copenhagen interpretatio n of quantum mechanics is very different from the Bohm interpretation. Usua lly, a local realistic model is thought to be even further from these two, as in its purest form it cannot even yield the probabilities from quantum m echanics by the Bell theorem. Nevertheless, by utilizing the "efficiency lo ophole" such a model can mimic the quantum probabilities, and more importan tly, in this paper it is shown that it is possible to interpret this latter kind of local realistic model such that it contains elements of reality as found in the Bohm interpretation, while retaining the complementarity pres ent in the Copenhagen interpretation.
