The question is what do we mean by "two systems", which is a fairly imprecise term in quantum mechanics. Two properties of a single particle can equally be considered "one system" with a larger Hilbert space. The point is to find a decomposition into subsystems that is natural from the point of view of macroscopic, localised observers. Usually this decomposition results from spatial separation, although you're right that it doesn't have to. The interesting nonlocal aspects only become meaningful with spacelike separation, though. | |
