Could you point out what you think that has to do with locality?

It mentions it once, to assert it as a desired axiom (and incorrectly assert that QM can be local, which it can't be). I also would argue that GR supports non-local theories well enough, in that the actual geometry can appear macro-Euclidean (or other nice space) while containing micro-bridges which break the locality structure for the "nice" macro space.

A non-local value is any value which can impact things at super-luminal speed (generally, instantaneously). Of course, I would argue that the non-locality is only apparent, and we're simply seeing the shape of things very wrong because of how brains work, the information reaches us, etc.

Ah. Those are ruled out by relativity. If you can send information faster than light, then you can send information backwards in time and violate causality.
