Contextuality, Locality, and the Interpretation of Bell Violations Abstract
The ontological significance of violations of Bell inequalities is reexamined. Bell’s theorem admits several mathematically equivalent formulations that support different interpretive perspectives. The present paper develops one such perspective using contextuality, the sheaf-theoretic framework of Abramsky and Brandenburger and Nelson’s stochastic mechanics.
