Yes, they are the same. They are, however, not scalar numbers. They are bivectors. They have both direction as well as magnitude. They are also non-commuting numbers. Moreover, they are standardized variables, or standard scores, not scalar numbers, or raw scores like A = +/-1. They should be properly understood as
"A_a = +/-1 about the direction a."
Thus we are playing a completely different ball game. The manipulation of these bivectors requires the rules of geometric algebra. So this is nothing like anything being played in the Bell saga, either before or after my work. The corresponding raw scores are nevertheless scalar numbers, A = +/-1, as in Eqs. (7) and (8).
I think Michel-type analysis is not appropriate for my Eq. (18). But my derivation does expose a deeply unphysical nature of Bell's story for the EPR=B correlation.
