"The other box" means each and every other box. That is, for boxes A,
B, C, and D, box A has the same relationship with B as it does with C
and D, depending on their respective settings. But that is what
generates the paradox.

Quantum effects - "spooky action at a distance" - have been
demonstrated. Entangle B with A, or at least the photons going to each,
and there you go.
