A protocol using cross-entangled independent Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) beams is developed as a means of sending information faster than light (FTL) by taking advantage of quantum nonlocality and indistinguishable particle statistics. Two observers bracket a central midpoint transmitter that contains dual EPR sources from which bits are encoded in packets of photon pairs. FTL communication occurs between the observers in a simplex mode. A reformulation of quantum mechanics is proposed that permits such communications, as well as wave function collapse, to be relativistically consistent, while also resolving the problem of causal ordering normally associated with spacelike connections. The issue of temporal paradox is handled separately at both the quantum and classical levels. Spacelike causal connections lead to closed loops in spacetime and causal self-reference. It is shown that such self-reference leads to nonlinearities in the evolution of the wave function that may be sufficient to lead to wave function collapse.
