Reality Dosen’t Shine, It Twinkles

Abstract

Arguments have been made that violation of the CHSH and similar inequalities shows that reality at the quantum level must be non-local. The derivation of Bell inequality is re-examined and it is shown that violations of these inequalities merely demonstrates the existence of contextuality - they say nothing about the causal influences underlying such contextuality. It is argued that contextual systems do not possess enduring (propositional) properties, merely contingent properties. An example is presented of a classical situation, a two player co-operative game, whose random variables are consistently connected in the sense of Dzhafarov, and which is contextual, violating the CHSH inequality. In fact it also violates the Tsierl'son bound. The key is that this system is generated and its properties are disposed, not determined.
