Locality and realism in contextual theories

Journal Article · · Found. Phys.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00733267· OSTI ID:5266428

Two types of contextual theories are distinguished and shown to be related. For theories of each type a criterion of locality is formulated which is weaker than the classical requirement of separability at spacelike intervals. The relations between the concepts of locality, realism, and ontic chance are discussed.
