How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Worked Bell angles: the singlet against the EPR product mixture at the same directions
A finite conditional computation in the declared spin correlation arrangement of the framework at four specified directions: the singlet's four sign tables and CHSH value, the tables and CHSH value of the EPR-type product mixture of definite opposite spins, an explicit local-response representation of the mixture's tables, and the comparison of the two arrangements. The example asserts no measured correlation, no apparatus and no empirical fact; it makes no claim that any laboratory preparation realizes either arrangement.
Example
Adopt the declared spin correlation arrangement of Declared spin correlation arrangement of the framework: two spin-half factors, four directions, joint sign tables and local-response models over the two declared spin-half factors with basis . Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice and the Axiom of Choice, as required by the cited singlet, spin-spectrum and arrangement suppliers (The Axiom of Countable Choice (), The Axiom of Choice). Fix the orthonormal vectors , , and the four unit directions Consider two arrangements over these same directions:
- the singlet arrangement, with the singlet preparation , ;
- the product-mixture arrangement, with the EPR-type mixture a convex combination of the two product preparations of definite opposite spins along .
Then:
(a) for the singlet arrangement the four correlations are
(b) for the product-mixture arrangement the four sign tables are so its correlations are ; at the displayed directions , and , hence
(c) the mixture's tables admit a local-response model (Local-response representations of a binary correlation model: one setting-independent specification space and per-station response laws): on the two-point specification space, the response laws with specification weights reproduce ; consequently , as the bound for representable models requires (The CHSH bound for every binary correlation model admitting a local-response representation);
(d) both arrangements have the same marginal sign laws for every direction, and the same reduced preparation on each factor, although their joint tables and CHSH functionals differ: .
All clauses are conditional computations in the declared framework; no measured correlation is asserted.
Verification
Given: The declared arrangements with the singlet preparation and the mixture ; the four directions , , , ; the spin-half projections ; the Axiom of Countable Choice and the Axiom of Choice.
[L1] The arrangement's outcome law is and its correlations and CHSH functional are read from Binary correlation models: setting-indexed tables of two-valued outcome laws, marginals and the CHSH functional clause (d) (Declared spin correlation arrangement of the framework: two spin-half factors, four directions, joint sign tables and local-response models clauses (a), (d)).
[L2] The singlet pairings and their marginals and correlation are with marginals and correlation (Singlet pairings: the joint laws of the two spin-half factors along two directions clauses (b), (c), (d)); at the displayed directions the singlet's CHSH value is (The singlet arrangement: directional sign tables, CHSH value 2 sqrt 2 and the failure of local-response models at violating settings clause (b)).
[L3] For a product preparation the joint law of the local sign measurements factorizes: (Factorization of local statistics for product preparations, and its failure for non-product pure preparations clause (a), Rank-one operator calculus clauses (b), (d)); and for the spin-half basis states , , so and by the Pauli matrices of Finite spin matrices clause (e): , so .
[L4] The partial trace of a rank-one product operator is , and is linear on the trace class (Separable partial trace and its basic properties clause (c), Rank-one operator calculus clause (b)).
[L5] Every binary correlation model admitting a local-response representation satisfies (The CHSH bound for every binary correlation model admitting a local-response representation).
Proof technique: direct; evaluate the singlet numbers from the singlet pairings, compute the mixture's tables as the average of the two product tables, exhibit the two-specification representation and check its identity, and compare the marginals.
Given: The data of the statement and [L1]-[L5].
[Directions and singlet values] The four directions are unit vectors with and . By [L1] and [L2], , so , and ; this is (a).
[Product-state tables] Write , . By [L3], for the product preparation (with or ) the joint sign law at is .
[Mixture tables] By [L1] the outcome law of a convex mixture is the corresponding convex combination of the laws, so the two product tables of step 1.2 average to ; this is the table formula of (b).
[Mixture correlations and CHSH value] Summing the table of step 2.1 with the product signs gives ; substituting , , gives and , hence ; this completes (b).
[Explicit representation] Choose a two-point specification space with weights and define the response laws by the display of (c). Then for each one has by step 2.1, so is a local-response representation of ; the bound then follows from [L5] and is consistent with the value of (b), since . This is (c).
[Common marginals and comparison] Summing the mixture table of step 2.1 over the distant label gives for each local label, and the singlet's marginals are by [L2]; the reduced preparations are and, expanding in the product basis and applying [L4] linearly, , so both arrangements share every single-station statistic while their CHSH functionals are and in absolute value. This is (d).
[Assembly and scope] Steps 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 3.2 and 4.1 prove (a)-(d); only the declared arrangements, the singlet pairings, the product-factorization theorem, the spin-half outcome laws, the partial trace and the CHSH bound for representable models were used, and no measured correlation is asserted.
Remarks
- Why the mixture does not distinguish the two routes. The mixture's tables are represented by a probabilistic local-response model with two specifications, not by a deterministic response function of a single specification; this is why clause (a) of Local-response representations of a binary correlation model: one setting-independent specification space and per-station response laws is stated for response laws rather than for response functions. The singlet's tables at the displayed directions admit no representation of either form.
- The lesson of the comparison. Identical marginals and identical reduced preparations on both factors do not determine the joint tables: the contrast between and is invisible to every single-station statistic and is a property of the correlations alone.
Finite samples of a declared arrangement: the CHSH estimator, its concentration and the limits of a finite-sample verdict
A conditional finite-sampling analysis for a declared spin correlation arrangement: under a declared independent and identically distributed sampling model with n runs per setting pair, the sample CHSH functional is unbiased, has variance at most 4/n and satisfies the stated Chebyshev concentration inequality; threshold events on either side of 2 have explicitly bounded model probabilities, and every acceptance criterion that rejects a positive-probability outcome sequence fails with positive probability. The item asserts no measured count, no p-value, no power, no error rate, no sample size and no empirical conclusion; the independence and identical distribution of trials is the declared statistical assumption of clause (ii) of P7, not a consequence of the framework.
Statement
Adopt a declared spin correlation arrangement of Declared spin correlation arrangement of the framework: two spin-half factors, four directions, joint sign tables and local-response models with its outcome laws , correlations and CHSH functional . Let and declare the following sampling model (the statistical model of clause (ii) of the preparation and apparatus postulate P7, Preparation and apparatus postulate P7: declared preparations, isolation and sampling assumptions): on a probability space let be random elements with values in that are mutually independent and have the declared laws (Pairwise and mutual independence of finite-valued random variables, Random elements and real random variables). Define the sample correlations and the sample CHSH functional Then:
(a) and for all ;
(b) , , and for every
(c) threshold consequences: if the declared model satisfies for some , then ; if the declared model is the singlet arrangement with and , then . Moreover, for every declared acceptance criterion that rejects at least one outcome sequence with , the failure probability of the criterion is at least ;
(d) scope: the independence, the identical distribution and the tables are declared model assumptions of the sampling model, not consequences of P1-P6; clauses (a)-(c) assert no measured count, no p-value, no error rate, no power, no required sample size and no empirical conclusion.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A declared arrangement with tables , correlations and CHSH functional ; the mutually independent random elements with the declared laws; the sample correlations and the sample functional ; a declared criterion .
The outcome laws, correlations and CHSH functional are the ones of clause (d) of Declared spin correlation arrangement of the framework: two spin-half factors, four directions, joint sign tables and local-response models and clauses (b), (d) of Binary correlation models: setting-indexed tables of two-valued outcome laws, marginals and the CHSH functional; the sampling model of the statement is an additional declared assumption in the sense of clause (ii) of Preparation and apparatus postulate P7: declared preparations, isolation and sampling assumptions and is not implied by the framework's postulates.
A finite family of finite-valued random elements is mutually independent when the probability of every joint event factors as the product over the index set (Pairwise and mutual independence of finite-valued random variables); in particular every sequence of values with all one-run probabilities positive has probability equal to the product of those probabilities, which is positive (The CHSH bound and the finite-sampling law for independent trials clause (b)).
Expectation is linear, and for a finite family of integrable real random variables the expectation of the finite sum is the sum of the expectations (Linearity, monotonicity, and the modulus bound for expectation, Expectation of a nonnegative or integrable random variable, Finite sums and finite products, by recursion).
Variance is defined by for a square-integrable real random variable, and (Moments, variance, and covariance on a probability space); the variances of a finite pairwise-independent family add, (Variance adds for every finite pairwise-independent family).
For a square-integrable real random variable and , (Chebyshev's inequality for random variables).
Proof
Given: The data of the statement and [F1]-[F5].
[Mean and variance of one sample correlation] Fix and put for . Each takes values in , so by [F1] and [F3], and identically, so by [F4]; the are mutually independent because the corresponding pairs are, and . Hence by [F3], and by [F4]; this is (a).
[Positive failure probability] Let be a sequence of outcomes with . By mutual independence [F2] the event that the sample equals this sequence has probability exactly ; if the criterion rejects this sequence, that is , then the singleton event is contained in the failure event , so the failure probability is at least .
[CHSH estimator moments and concentration] The four families for the four setting pairs involve disjoint groups of the mutually independent random elements, so the four estimators are mutually independent; by [F3] and [F4], and by step 1.1. Chebyshev [F5] applied to gives for every ; this is (b).
[Threshold events] If then , so its probability is at most by step 2.1. For the singlet arrangement , so and , giving the second bound.
[Assembly and scope] Steps 1.1 and 2.1 prove (a) and (b), step 1.2 and step 3.1 prove the two parts of (c), and (d) records that the sampling model is the declared assumption of P7 clause (ii) and that no measured count, p-value, error rate, power, sample size or empirical conclusion is asserted.
Remarks
- Finite-sample threshold crossings. At the displayed singlet settings, each of the four possible outcome pairs has strictly positive probability. A sequence with product signs at the first three setting pairs and at the last therefore has positive probability and gives . For a representable model with , a crossing has positive probability only when its declared tables support at least one such sequence, as specified by clause (c); a deterministic table need not support one. The displayed Chebyshev upper bounds remain valid independently of that support condition. More generally, if two specified finite-sample models both assign positive probability to the same record, that record is possible under both and cannot deductively exclude either; a record assigned probability zero by one specified ideal model can exclude that model conditional on its sampling and apparatus assumptions. Thus this item makes no blanket claim that finite samples cannot distinguish all model pairs. No optimality, power or sample-size assertion is made.
- No inference is drawn. The clauses are probabilities inside the declared sampling model. They do not compute a p-value, do not attach a confidence level and do not assert anything about a real experiment; the preparation, detection and selection qualifications remain as stated in Measurement-model boundaries of the singlet-local comparison: what the no-go excludes and what it does not.
Selection and loss: the precise hypothesis under which the CHSH bound transfers to recorded pairs
A record of the detection and selection qualification of any comparison between a declared arrangement and recorded coincidences: the recorded tables are conditional tables; the CHSH bound transfers to them when the recorded runs are selected by an event of the specification space that is the same for every setting pair, as the selection-closure lemma states; without a declared selection model no transfer is claimed, and no assertion is made that any real detector satisfies the condition. Finite-sample claims additionally require an explicit sampling model for the recorded law; the cited arrangement-sampling result applies only under its stated independent trial laws. The remark reports no measurement and no efficiency.
Remarks
-
Recorded tables are conditional tables. The arrangement's laws of Declared spin correlation arrangement of the framework: two spin-half factors, four directions, joint sign tables and local-response models clause (d) describe a declared pair of local sign measurements for every setting pair on the declared preparation. A comparison with recorded data ordinarily uses only the runs in which both stations register an event; the laws of the recorded runs are therefore conditional laws of a larger model, and they are not the arrangement's tables unless a detection and selection model connecting the two is declared. This is part of the preparation and apparatus discipline of P7 clause (i) (Preparation and apparatus postulate P7: declared preparations, isolation and sampling assumptions).
-
A sufficient condition for the transfer. If the full tables admit a local-response representation and the recorded runs are exactly those specifications lying in a measurable selection event of the specification space with — membership is determined by the specification alone, using the same event for every setting pair — then the conditional tables again admit a local-response representation, with the same response laws over the conditional measure, and hence satisfy the CHSH bound (Conditioning on a setting-independent selection preserves local-response representability and the CHSH bound). This is the mathematical content of a setting-independent detection or fair-sampling hypothesis for the declared model class. It does not require statistical independence of from the outcomes: reweighting the specifications can change the tables.
-
The condition is a hypothesis, not a theorem about detectors. The selection-closure lemma is a conditional statement about the declared model. It does not assert that any laboratory detector, coincidence circuit or post-selection rule realizes a selection event of the required form; identifying a concrete apparatus with such a model is a tested identification with uncertainty under P7 and carries its calibration and control-experiment qualifications. Efficiency, dead time, misalignment, background and drift each require their own declared model.
-
No transfer without a selection model. If the recorded sample is selected by a rule that depends on the settings or on the observed outcomes, the selection-closure lemma does not apply, and no claim is made here that the CHSH bound constrains the recorded tables. Correspondingly, a deviation computed from recorded pairs is a statement about those recorded tables and their own declared model; it becomes a statement about the full arrangement only through an explicitly justified detection and selection model; the condition above is sufficient, not necessary. Finite-sample fluctuations are a further, separate matter. The result Finite samples of a declared arrangement: the CHSH estimator, its concentration and the limits of a finite-sample verdict assumes trials per setting pair, all outcome pairs mutually independent, with each trial law equal to the arrangement's table . It applies to recorded pairs only when their declared sampling model satisfies those hypotheses. A postselected law different from , random recorded trial counts or correlations induced by selection require a separate analysis; the cited result does not supply one. The singlet contrast itself is the conditional model computation of The singlet arrangement: directional sign tables, CHSH value 2 sqrt 2 and the failure of local-response models at violating settings.
-
Settings choice. In a specified experiment model, let be the actual conditional probability law of the specification given that setting pair is chosen whenever that conditional law is defined. The common-law condition required by a local-response representation is that these actual conditional laws are all one common law, (Local-response representations of a binary correlation model: one setting-independent specification space and per-station response laws clause (c)); if a setting pair is never chosen, its law must still be specified by the comparison model before the four-table representation is applied. The possibility that a setting procedure could depend on the specification does not establish that the actual conditional laws differ; an analysis using a local-response representation must establish their equality from its model and the relevant evidence. This page neither assumes nor reports such a setting procedure or its conditional laws.
Scope of the examples page: conditional computations, no experiment, and the deferred Bell-test destination
A scope record for the examples page of the pair: the conditional computations it contains, the empirical content it does not contain, and the deferred Bell-test experiment destination with its required preparation, apparatus, calibration, loss and statistical qualifications. The record asserts no measured correlation, no count and no empirical conclusion.
Remarks
-
What the page contains. Three conditional computations in the declared framework: the worked comparison at the specified directions between the singlet arrangement and the EPR-type product mixture, with both CHSH values and an explicit local-response representation of the mixture (Worked Bell angles: the singlet against the EPR product mixture at the same directions); the finite-sample behaviour of the sample CHSH functional under a declared independent and identically distributed sampling model, with its concentration inequality and positive failure probabilities (Finite samples of a declared arrangement: the CHSH estimator, its concentration and the limits of a finite-sample verdict); and the selection and loss qualification, with the precise hypothesis under which the CHSH bound transfers to recorded pairs (Selection and loss: the precise hypothesis under which the CHSH bound transfers to recorded pairs).
-
What the page does not contain. No experiment item, no reported count, no calibration, no detector efficiency, no loss fraction, no background model, no trial-level uncertainty analysis, no p-value and no confidence level. The worked tables, the sample functional and the failure probabilities are probabilities of the declared models; no number on the page is an observation. The identification of any apparatus with the declared measurements and of any repetition procedure with the declared sampling model is a tested identification with uncertainty under P7 (Preparation and apparatus postulate P7: declared preparations, isolation and sampling assumptions).
-
Deferred Bell-test experiment destination. The design of the pair reserves an experiment item for a Bell test. It is not built here because none of the sources read for the pair supplies the required trial-level material: a primary or authoritative full report read directly, with the source-specific preparation and apparatus, calibration, measured outputs, trial count where reported, detection efficiency, losses and post-selection, background, the reported statistical treatment and systematics, and the source's omissions. The experimental remarks of the secondary sources — Binney's reference to the 1972 Freedman-Clauser test and its citation of a 1998 photonic test, and the MIT chapter's statement that experiments have confirmed violations — motivate the comparison only and are not used as measured records; no numerical value from them is reproduced. The statistics and primary-report gap named in the design is recorded as an open destination.
-
Why a null or shifted sample is not a verdict. The mixture's tables have , so , strictly below the local-response CHSH bound (The CHSH bound for every binary correlation model admitting a local-response representation) and the singlet's (Worked Bell angles: the singlet against the EPR product mixture at the same directions). At the worked angles, every singlet table cell has probability , and every mixture table cell has probability either or ; hence each finite sequence has positive probability under both specified independent-sampling models. Such a record cannot deductively exclude either member of this pair, though statistical evidence can favor one under an explicit comparison procedure and its assumptions. For a different specified pair, an observed sequence assigned probability zero by one ideal model can exclude that model conditional on its sampling assumptions. The worked comparison's spin calculations carry the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()) and the Axiom of Choice (The Axiom of Choice) stated in their supplier hypotheses. The finite-sample analysis bounds the probability that the sample functional crosses a stated threshold under its declared model (Finite samples of a declared arrangement: the CHSH estimator, its concentration and the limits of a finite-sample verdict); it gives no universal impossibility result for all finite-sample comparisons. Any comparison also requires the preparation, detection, selection and sampling assumptions, and agreement is evidence about the combined assumptions, not a proof of the framework.
-
Model contrast is not an interpretation. The page compares the tables of two declared arrangements and the class of local-response models of those tables (The CHSH bound for every binary correlation model admitting a local-response representation); it makes no claim about the completeness of quantum mechanics, about hidden variables in general, about mechanisms or about any interpretation of the violation. The boundaries of the comparison are recorded on the pair's first page.
