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.

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.

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:
