How the Quantum Sorites Phenomenon Strengthens Bell's Argument

Forster, Malcolm R.

Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

Recently, Colbeck and Renner (2011) [arXiv:1005.5173] published a theorem that appears to be stronger than the Bell (1964) theorem in a way that is more significant than the other variations of Bell's theorem that have been published in the 50 years since Bell's theorem. Colbeck and Renner themselves do not relate their theorem directly to Bell's theorem, so here I present a version of the Colbeck-Renner theorem that makes the relationship explicit.
