Quantum postulate vs. quantum nonlocality: Is Devil in h?

Abstract
This note is a part of my efforts for getting rid of nonlocality from quantum mechanics (QM). Quantum nonlocality is two faced Janus, one face is Lüders projection nonlocality, another face is Bell nonlocality. This paper is devoted to disillusion of the latter. The main casualty of Bell's model with hidden variables is that it straightforwardly contradicts to the Heinsenberg's uncertainty and generally Bohr's complementarity principles. Thus, we do not criticize the derivation or interpretation of the Bell inequality (as was done by numerous authors). Our critique is directed against the model as it is. The original Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) argument was based on the Heinseberg's principle, but EPR did not question it. Hence, the arguments of EPR and Bell differ crucially. It is worth to find the physical seed of the aforementioned principles. This is the {\it quantum postulate}: the existence of indivisible quantum of action. Bell's approach with hidden variable straightforwardly implies rejection of the quantum postulate. Heisenberg compared the quantum postulate with constancy of light's velocity in special relativity. Thus attempts to explain long distance correlations within the Bell model can be compared with attempts to construct models violating the laws of relativity theory. Following Zeilinger, I search for the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics (QM) similar to the principles of relativity and consider the quantum action and complementarity principles as such principles.
