I think that perfect equilibrium state can't be entirely overlooked.
Consider that in a frame traveling at the speed of light, measures of time and distance shrink to zero, so if we go the opposite direction, to whether the clocks are fastest and the rulers are longest, this frame is closest to the equilibrium of the vacuum, the unmoving void of absolute zero.
Given space is described by three dimensions and within the platonic mathematical establishment, this equates with physical explanation, I would argue it's really just the xyz coordinate system and no more foundational to space than longitude, latitude and altitude are foundational to the biosphere of this planet. The real attributes of space are infinity and equilibrium. Zero to infinity. Absolute and infinite.
Which also goes the the uncertainty principle and the relationship of energy to any information that can be derived from it. I just posted a comment on the nature of time section, arguing energy and information effectively go opposite directions of time, energy to the future, while any information extracted quickly recedes into the past, as the basis for the effect of time.
So that while it isn't so much there are hidden variables, but information extraction is a subjective activity, that exists in context and generates reactions.
For instance, a moving car doesn't have an exact location, or it wouldn't be moving, so the idea of knowing both location and momentum of anything amounts to an oxymoron.
What can be done is recognize when similar states are synchronized or not and how they interact.
It seems synchronization equates with order, as it means more energy defined by less information, as opposed to a distributed state, where it requires much more information to describe. Given this energy tends to equalize, as it radiates toward infinity, laws of statistics are used to give it a sense of order.
Themodynamic feedback loops, between energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in. Centrifugal and centripetal.
Between black holes and black body radiation.
