..Ruth is saying that the Heisenberg 'layer' of reality (HLR)is not our reality. Our spacetime is intimately connected to this other layer, but separate from it.

And, I can understand that "our spacetime is intimately connected to this other layer". But how is it "separate from" our spacetime?-As I understand it, it is with us at all times. We just don't have the sensory ability to appreciate it. We can pull out bits and pieces and study them but only partially. A photon producer (a lazer) emits quantum photons and they are absorbed on a screen in parallel shadows on the other side of a double slit experiment. This tells us that photons make waves, or are wave-like blobs of fundamental energy. We can split a photon and the two daughters can be spread miles apart and each still know exactly what each is doing, even in a delayed choice (Wheeler) experiment. Ruth's explanation is that the two are fully connected on the other side. Considering how confusing the whole subject has been, her idea makes perfect sense. It is here, but always separate. Just don't look for a boundary. Your lighted bulb emits photons absorbed by your retina. You see the light but not the quantum mechanics.
