I confess I'm not quite clear on your question. Local processes proceed locally with invariant states of distant entanglement. Just suppose that the global wavefunction is an objective fact which entails all of RQM's statements via the obvious truth-condition, and there you go.

I confess I'm not quite clear on your answer.

Local processes proceed locally with invariant states of distant entanglement.

Not sure what this means, at least not past "local processes proceed locally", which is certainly uncontroversial, if you mean to say that interaction is limited to light speed.

Just suppose that the global wavefunction is an objective fact

"an objective fact"? As in a map from something to C? If so, what is that something? Some branching multiverse? Or what do you mean by an objective fact?

which entails all of RQM's statements via the obvious truth-condition

You lost me here, sorry.
