Bell's inequalities - II: Logical loophole in their interpretation

Assumed data streams from a delayed choice gedanken experiment must satisfy a Bell's identity independently of locality assumptions. The violation of Bell's inequality by assumed correlations of identical form among these dat a streams implies that they cannot all result from statistically equivalent variables of a homogeneous process. This is consistent with both the requi rements of arithmetic and distinctions between commuting and noncommuting o bservables in quantum mechanics. Neglect of these distinctions implies a lo gical loophole in the conventional interpretation of Bell's inequalities. P ublished by Elsevier Science B.V.
