So, what inequality do you think applies to the CHSH urn experiment?

There is no such thing as a "CHSH urn experiment."

Moreover, Bell's so-called "theorem" is nothing but a statistical swindle.

What else do the Bell fanatics have to do now other than talk about irrelevant junk now that they are all shot down? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol:

Boole’s three correlation theorem is a swindle!? (Necessity and sufficiency of Bell’s three correlations inequalities). And Fine’s four correlations theorem? (Necessity and sufficiency of CHSH inequalities).

Of course there a CHSH urn experiment. Put eight slips of paper in an urn. Pick one at random. Toss two fair coins. The coins determine Alice and Bob’s setting 1 or setting 2. Call them a and b.

Each slip of paper has four numbers +/-1 written on it. Call them: x1, x2, y1, y2. Report outcomes: xa, yb.

Return slip of paper to urn, repeat…

This thought experiment can be performed in a classroom. It can be simulated on a computer. It can be studied mathematically using standard tools from probability theory and mathematical statistics.

Here are the eight slips of paper, using “0” and “1” to stand for “-1” and “+1” respectively:

"0000"
"0100"
"0110"
"1110"
"0001"
"1001"
"1011"
"1111"

Of course, you can fill the urn in other ways; and you can choose settings using biased coins or even correlated coins, if you like. The special “eight slip” urn I mentioned will give three correlations of +0.5 and one of -0.5, so a value of “S” of 2. In the limit of large N.

Let’s get back on topic, folks. There are strictly mathematical results called, for better or for worse, Bell’s theorem. Some people say it should be called Boole’s theorem. Indeed, you can find it in his book from the 1850’s. It is legitimate to look for more pedagogical proofs than, say, Boole’s or Bell’s.

You are right to call my ramblings "almost nonsense". They contain pearls of wisdom, one cannot expect everyone to appreciate them.

You said "I said this junk is irrelevant! Since Bell and Gill are shot down to pieces!" As you know, I believe that that's where you are completely wrong.

Oh sure..., That you Bell fanatics are finished and don't even know it. :lol:

Perhaps I should explain how the analytical definitions from the paper match up with the code? Sure, might as well. But I believe it is already explained in the paper. Here is the current version of the quaternion version of the code.

https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/fredif ... -forum3.nb
EPRsims/newCS-15-S3quat-prodcalc-forum3.pdf

And a link to the paper.

http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.28311.91047/2

So, in the paper we have the main equations (13) and (20) which may be a little confusing at first until you go thru the other definitions. Think of just one event. Then A and B will just be equal to 1 of the 3 possibilities. The other 2 possibilities at that time will be "no result". This in the code here,

outA=Sort[Catenate[{listA4,outA2,listA6}],#1[[3]]<#2[[3]]&]; (*Combine lists and sort*) (completely local)
outB=Sort[Catenate[{listB4,outB2,listB6}],#1[[3]]<#2[[3]]&]; (*Combine lists and sort*)

Next we have the definitions that correspond to the code. For A1, A2, B1 and B2. The code is this,

outA1=Select[outAa,MemberQ[#,g1]&]; (*Split outAa into outA1 and outA2*)(completely local)
outA2=Select[outAa,MemberQ[#,f1]&];
outB1=Select[outBb,MemberQ[#,g2]&]; (*Split outBb into outB1 and outB2*)(completely local)
outB2=Select[outBb,MemberQ[#,f2]&];

What they do is separate the events for pre-result outAa and outBb into A1 and B1 events that are greater than the HV process and for A2 and B2, events that are less than the HV process. Exactly like it says in the paper for eqs. (14), (15), (21) and (22). Next in the paper we have A3 and B3 eqs. (16) and (23). The code for that is,

listA3=Select[outA1,Intersection[{#[[3]]},listad3]!={#[[3]]}&];(completely local)
listB3=Select[outB1,Intersection[{#[[3]]},listbd3]!={#[[3]]}&];

And easy to see that it is for events from outA1 and outB1 that don't match via trial numbers via outA4 and outB4. Then of course we have A4 and B4 from eqs. (17) and (24) for which the code is,

listA4=Select[outA1,Intersection[{#[[3]]},list23]=={#[[3]]}&]; (completely local)
listB4=Select[outB1,Intersection[{#[[3]]},list13]=={#[[3]]}&];

Also easy to see that it is for events from outA1 and outB1 where the trial numbers do match. Perhaps we should reverse n3 and n4 to make the flow better in the paper. Then we have A5 and B5 in the paper eqs. (18) and (25) for which the code is,

(completely local)


I should mention here that A5 and B5 are recorded as the 5th element for every event in the tables for the A and B sides. And these are for use in A6 and B6 eqs. (19) and (26). Which in the code are,

Do[If[listA3[[i]][[2]]==listA3[[i]][[5]],qaaq[[i]]=1,qaaq[[i]]=Re[listA36[[i]]**listA37[[i]]]];
listA6[[i]]={listA3[[i]][[1]],qaaq[[i]]*listA3[[i]][[2]],listA3[[i]][[3]],listA3[[i]][[4]],listA3[[i]][[5]],listA3[[i]][[6]],listA3[[i]][[7]]}, {i, M}](completely local)
Do[If[listB3[[i]][[2]]==listB3[[i]][[5]],qbbq[[i]]=1,qbbq[[i]]=Re[listB36[[i]]**listB37[[i]]]];
listB6[[i]]={listB3[[i]][[1]],qbbq[[i]]*listB3[[i]][[2]],listB3[[i]][[3]],listB3[[i]][[4]],listB3[[i]][[5]],listB3[[i]][[6]],listB3[[i]][[7]]}, {i, M2}](completely local)

Yep, those two are doozies but you can see the spinorial sign changes here qaaq[[i]]*listA3[[i]][[2]] and here qbbq[[i]]*listB3[[i]][[2]]. So, "emulates" comes out of the paper description. Ok, I think that is it. Questions?

Are you using the word in its sense in elementary calculus, or in its sense in elementary statistics and probability?

Now you are pretending you don't know what I mean. I'm not interested in anything to do with settings or particles. Your proof has no settings or particles. It's just a mathematical tautology involving ONLY outcomes.

Each X, Y in your proof can be considered as the outcome of a coin toss. I already told you this previously and you decided to dodge. In that case, how many independent coin tosses are involved in Z? And how many independent coin tosses are involved in the Bell test experiment. This is exactly the same question and you understand it perfectly.

Simple answer: There are 4 independent coin tosses () in your proof
Simple answer: There are 8 independent coin tosses in a Bell test Experiment no need to play word games.

There is no such thing as a CHSH urn experiment.

Michel, your simple answers, and your final conclusion, are all wrong. It seems you *won’t* read what I wrote.

No point in arguing about it, as Heinera says. Michel’s mind is closed. That’s sad.

Richard, don't argue with him anymore. He has been harping his misunderstanding for nearly ten years and nothing has helped. An now he is even denying the existence of the CHSH urn experiment.
