It is mind boggling crazy that this has gone on for over 50 years.

Actually a stalemate; nobody truly convinced the other side they are wrong. But we knew that was going to happen from the very beginning. But perhaps some lurkers got convinced one way or the other and it seems Jay is almost convinced that Bell was wrong. But the real bottom line about Bell is,

It is mathematically impossible for anything to violate a Bell inequality!

That the Bell fanatics don't understand nor accept that is quite mind boggling. When ask to try to prove that QM or the experiments actually violate those inequalities, they hardly ever try.

Since 1 = H + T, with your identifications, is completely equivalent to the CHSH sum (1), the coin-toss quantity 1 = H + T is not an element of reality, as I have already noted.

OK, Jay. Here is my same old answer, but now respecting your new logic:

Since you have defined H = ( B + B’ )/2B and T = ( B – B’ )/2B ,

1 = H + T is not an element of reality, because H and T are possible outcomes of an impossible coin.

There does not exist a coin in Nature that can have H and T as two counterfactually possible outcomes.

Re: Bell Imposed -0 and +0 Bounds on the CHSH Correlator

Post by minkwe » Sat Dec 03, 2016 2:30 pm

I boil down the argument to the claim that:

A sum of mutually exclusive *possibilities* is a meaningless quantity that can't be reasonably compared with a sum of mutually compatible *actualities*.

Here is a proof.

For the single coin toss with mutually exclusive possibilities (H=1, T=1), the sum of *possibilities* is H + T = 2
However, we find that after tossing a single coin we may obtain actual results results (H=1, T=0) or actual results (H=0, T=1). Therefore the sum of *actualities* H + T = 1
Therefore H + T = 2 is not a *possibility*

I think this is what Joy means when he says the set of *possibilities* is not closed-under addition. But the set of *actualities* is.

My reply to Jay's question on Retraction Watch: Is "1" in “1 = H+T” an element of reality in the EPR sense (where H = 1 is heads and T = 1 is tails in a single coin toss)?

Exactly Joy,

If H = 1 means Head is UP and H = 0 means Head is down, and the same for T, then from a single coin toss, H + T = 1 is an element of reality, since H and T are not mutually exclusive possibilities, they are just Head/Tail counters for *actual* results obtained. But if H = 1, T=1 are the mutually exclusive possibilities, then H + T, is not an element of reality for a single coin toss because only one of those outcomes (H=1) or (T=1) can be obtained, not both.

The CHSH sum is more similar to the latter than the former. I think there are serious flaws in the coin-toss analogy.

Post by Dirkman » Sat Dec 03, 2016 1:31 am

To me, 1=H+T would be an element of reality if H and T exist at the same time. And for a coin or a slip its obviously true. H is on one side and T is on the other side, both at the same time. And with this assumption you get a CHSH bound of 2. So when you switch to QM, the bound is violated meaning H doesnt coexist with T, so there's no such thing as...superposition ? Hmmm...I must be wrong somehow.

Re: Bell Imposed -0 and +0 Bounds on the CHSH Correlator

Post by minkwe » Fri Dec 02, 2016 8:17 pm

I just posted the following on RW in response to Jay,

Jay R. Yablon
AB + AB’ + A’B – A’B’ (1)
Each of the four terms is an element of reality. Nobody disagrees.

I do not disagree either. I simply say it is not sufficiently clear to say each of those terms is an element of reality. I say the discussion will go much more smoothly if you identify and everyone agrees what kind of reality they represent -- *possibilities* or *actualities* there is a risk of losing sight of very important subtleties if that distinction is not made clear at this point.

Jay R. Yablon
But only one of those four terms can ever be measured in one trial if that trial truly represents EPR. The other three terms may be reality, but we cannot measure them, so they are unknowable reality. The disputes between Joy and others all boil down to what this means for Bell.

Rather, I would say all those terms A, A’, B, B’ are *possibilities*. But since the A contradicts A’, and B contradicts B’, their linear combination in the form

AB + AB’ + A’B – A’B’ (1)

is NOT a *possibility* since it amounts to accepting mutually exclusive possibilities as simultaneously true — a contradiction. I think this is Joy’s point, in my own words.

Jay R. Yablon
Others say it means nothing, because the other three are still elements of reality by postulate, and that this postulate also renders irrelevant that the other three terms are not and cannot be measured.

As I hope you now see, these “others” can’t reasonably say that, if we were clear from the beginning about distinguishing *possibilities* from *actualities*. Just like it is obviously unreasonable to admit the simultaneous logical truth of two mutually contradictory statements.

Jay R. Yablon
Forgetting about all of this, I pose only two questions:
First: is the SUM in (1) itself an “element of reality”? But since I do not even want to try to define “element of reality” at this moment, let me borrow from Star Trek and call each term in (1) a “tribble” and ask whether the whole sum in (1) is a “tribble,” knowing that at the end I will set:
“tribble” = “element of reality” (2)


The problem does not go away because you use “tribble” it is only made worse, so long as you do not identify that there are two types of “tribbles”. You give wiggle room later, for someone to intentionally or mistakenly switch from one type to another at the expense of clarity. There is a type of “tribble” for which the sum (1) will also be a “tribble” and there is a a different type of “tribble” for which the sum (1) is not a “tribble”. This is the subtlety being missed. If I follow along, then if A, A’, B, B’ are “tribbles”, I must interpret tribble later as
“tribbles” = “possibilities”
and at no point in the future is it allowed to use
“tribbles” = “actualities”
With that in mind, I would answer that the sum (1) is not a “tribble” since it involves a logical contradiction, and the maximum value of the sum(1) is 2.

Jay R. Yablon
AB + AB’ + A’B – A’B’ = 2 = 2*(H+T) (3)
where either H=1 and T=0, or H=0 and T=1. Mutually exclusive. Because of this orthogonality, we can also discuss this with two state vectors (1 0) and (0 1). And we all know that this 2 turns into the CHSH bound |2|.
So, now my first question metamorphises to this: is 2*(H+T) a tribble, because that is the sum of three tribbles minus the fourth tribble. If you permit me to divide out the 2, then the question is more simply stated:
Is 1 = H+T a tribble, or is not a tribble?


if H, T are mutually exclusive tribbles, then H + T is not a “tribble”. But as I’ve been trying hard to explain, (H, T) in your discussion are not always mutually exclusive. If H, T are head/Tail counters as you say, then they are not mutually exclusive and are therefore NOT “tribbles”! So without the clarity, it may appear reasonable (although it is absolutely not), for somebody to go from your coin toss analogy to suggest that the (1) is also a tribble by glossing over details.

For example, If 0 means down, and 1 means up, then a single coin toss can give you (H=0, T=1) both of which are *actualities*. And because *actualities* are necessarily consistent with each other, H + T = 1 is also an *actuality*. Now if I permit you to be obscure with your “tribble” terminology, then you might think because you called H, T mutually exclusive possibilities, your H + T represents a combination of tribbles similar to (1). But that is false. For your H/T counters, the mutually exclusive possibilities for a single coin are not H or T, they are (H=0, T=1) or (H=1, T=0), and your sum (H + T) is not a sum of those, therefore H + T from H/T counters is not a linear combination of mutually exclusive possibilities in the same manner as (1). And therefore you can’t reasonably draw a conclusion about the “tribbleness” of (1) by using the tribbleness of the expression (H+T=1, where H, T are H/T counters). You have fallen prey to the trap I’ve been trying to warn you about. H/T counters are *actualities* not *possibilities*!

Jay R. Yablon
The CHSH sum itself contains no accompanying statement as to whether we are asking what this sum may be in advance of a measurement, or what it actually was after a measurement. That is part of what we all need to fill in.

Here I disagree, it does by implication. *possibilities* vs *actualities* correspond to *prediction* vs *measurement*. The output of predictions are *possibilities* and the outputs of measurements are *actualities*. Again all of this confusion will be cleared-up at once if you would seriously consider my clarifying suggestions to use *possibilities* and *actualities* instead of *elements of reality* or *tribble*.

Jay R. Yablon
So I am asking everybody to tell me if 1 = H + T ought to be or ought not to be regarded as a tribble. But if it is not a tribble, then the sum in (1) is not a tribble, even though it combines four individual tribbles.


I would answer that your language has unfortunately not been precise enough to accomplish your noble goal, which I share.

Yep. In fact, I don't see how one can have a theory without a measure space, and reach any other conclusion.

You're just doing combinatorics, otherwise. Primitive combinatorics.

Fred, you are almost right, except that A, B, A' and B' need not be measured directly to be elements of reality. Because of the perfect anti-correlation, B(b) can be an element of reality by means of measuring A(b) and vice versa; and likewise for all possible directions n. But, as you say, it is impossible to violate CHSH by anything.

Oh right, I forgot to put in the a = b and a = -b conditions. Those are the only times when Alice can make a prediction for Bob and likewise Bob a prediction for Alice. But one of them has to be measured first to be real. For all other a's and b's, no predictions can be made. Of course one can also make the prediction that A will be anti-correlated with B when a = b.
.

Richard Gill's attempt to wiggle out of the fact that B + B' is not an element of reality is the following:

Richard Gill wrote:
…if you can argue that B(b) and B(b’) are elements of reality, then the pair (B(b), B(b’)) is also an element of reality, and any function thereof, such as the sum, as well.

And my response to his attempt is the following:

Joy Christian wrote:
According to the above reasoning, since “square-root of B(b)” is a function of B(b), “square-root of B(b)” is an element of reality. But since B(b) = +1 or -1, both “square-root of +1” and “square-root of -1” are elements of reality, where “square-root of -1” = the imaginary i.

The above is the least of the problem with Gill’s “criterion” of reality. According to Gill’s criterion, any old function of A, A’, B, B’, etc. is an element of reality, provided A, A’, B, B’, etc. are elements of reality. In addition to the “imaginary problem” exposed above, to see how absurd Gill’s criterion is, recall that A(a) and B(b) are continuous functions of the 3D vectors like a and b. Thus there are in fact infinitely many A(a)’s and B(b)’s to consider, all which can be added up or subtracted out in infinitely many different ways, the results of which can again be added up and subtracted out in infinitely many different ways. And of course adding and subtracting are not the only mathematical operations we can perform on A’s and B’s. We can indeed construct infinitely many other functions out of them. For example, like { A + A’ + A” + sqrt(B + B’) } / { bunch of other A’s and B’s added up or subtracted out}, and so on. In other words, according to Gill’s criterion of reality there is absolutely no end to the number of different elements of reality we can construct out of the genuine EPR elements of reality like A(a) and B(b), without exhausting any conceivable order of Cantor’s transfinite numbers of infinities. Well, you got the picture. According to Gill’s criterion of reality, absolutely anything at all can be an element of reality, from our universe to infinitely many other universes.

I have already expressed my view on the current model in my flatlanders post on my blog (http://challengingbell.blogspot.nl/2015 ... tians.html).
For a computer model to proof the correlation of the EPR cos to be non-local I think the parts of the simulation that represent spatially separated processes should in principle be able to run standalone (separated by time and/or devices for non programmers, isolated processes for programmers). Because of the double loop in the current simulation this is difficult to do.
Both Chantals code as mine (de Raedt) are able to do this, and with these models it is very difficult to both use all counts and get the CSHS>2.

Expression (3) is wrong because it cannot be correct at the same time as expression (1). And definitive proof of the validity of expression (1) exists already.

I claim that expression (1) is correct and can never be violated, ever! Expression (4) is wrong and is easily violated. Bell's proponents claim that they have evidence of violation of expression (1), but then claim that expression (4) is correct. I'm calling their bluff, provide the dataset which violates expression (1). Use any means at your disposal to provide the data, you don't need to explain to anyone how you got it, If you believe an experiment violates (1), then you can just copy the data from the experiment and I'll shut up. Just provide the hard-cold data like I've done. The ball is in your court, it is clear what you have to do:

(a) Provide a dataset which violates expression (1)
(b) Provide a mathematical proof of expression (4)


I call this the Fred Diether Challenge, and it cuts through all the noise of disagreements about physical concepts, and experimental details. It is simply a challenge about datasets.

Anyway, I always thought of the CSHS as a trick to have one number to check how much the result set exceeds the saw-tooth curve and tends towards the negative cos. So personally I consider the negative cos to be more relevant to the QM-Bell discussion.
