Abstract
Subsystems of entangled quantum systems are not traditionally described in a local way. This paper begins to address the issue by constructing an explicit local hidden variable theory for quantum subsystems. The interpretation is based on a modified sum-over-paths approach, where the paths of the subsystem obtain information about the external system during interactions. The interpretation utilizes the conception that there is a dissociation between the tensor product structure of wavefunctions and information flow into quantum subsystems.
