Disproof of Bell's Theorem by Clifford Algebra Valued Local Variables

Abstract

It is shown that Bell's theorem fails for the Clifford algebra valued local realistic variables. This is made evident by exactly reproducing quantum mechanical expectation value for the EPR-Bohm type spin correlations observable by means of a local, deterministic, Clifford algebra valued variable, without necessitating either remote contextuality or backward causation. Since Clifford product of multivector variables is non-commutative in general, the spin correlations derived within our locally causal model violate the CHSH inequality just as strongly as their quantum mechanical counterparts.

Disproof of Bell's Theorem: Further Consolidations

Joy Christian

The failure of Bell's theorem for Clifford algebra valued local variables is further consolidated by proving that the conditions of remote parameter independence and remote outcome independence are duly respected within the recently constructed exact, local realistic model for the EPR-Bohm correlations. Since the conjunction of these two conditions is equivalent to the locality condition of Bell, this provides an independent geometric proof of the local causality of the model, at the level of microstates. In addition to local causality, the model respects at least seven other conceptual and operational requirements, arising either from the predictions of quantum mechanics or the premises of Bell's theorem, including the Malus's law for sequential spin measurements. Since the agreement between the predictions of the model and those of quantum mechanics is quantitatively precise in all respects, the ensemble interpretation of the entangled singlet state becomes amenable.

Non-Viability of a Counter-Argument to Bell's Theorem

M. Holman

It is demonstrated that a recently suggested model for the EPR-Bohm spin experiment, based on Clifford algebra valued local variables and observables, runs into very serious difficulties and can therefore not be taken as constituting a viable counter-example to Bell's theorem.

Whither All the Scope and Generality of Bell's Theorem?

Joy Christian

In a recent preprint James Owen Weatherall has attempted a simple local-deterministic model for the EPR-Bohm correlation and speculated about why his model fails when my counterexample to Bell's theorem succeeds. Here I bring out the physical, mathematical, and conceptual reasons why his model fails. In particular, I demonstrate why no model based on a tensor representation of the rotation group SU(2) can reproduce the EPR-Bohm correlation. I demonstrate this by calculating the correlation explicitly between measurement results A = +1 or -1 and B = +1 or -1 in a local and deterministic model respecting the spinor representation of SU(2). I conclude by showing how Weatherall's reading of my model is misguided at best and bring out a number of misconceptions and unwarranted assumptions in his imitation of my model, as it relates to Bell-CHSH inequalities.

Disproof of Bell's Theorem

We illustrate an explicit counterexample to Bell's theorem by constructing a pair of spin variables in S^3 that exactly reproduces the EPR-Bohm correlation in a manifestly local-realistic manner.

Beyond Bell’s theorem: realism and locality without Bell-type correlations

F. De Zela

The long-lasting view of entanglement as the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics has been recently challenged by experimental demonstrations of non-quantum entanglement. This motivates a review of the meaning of Bell violations, which have been widely taken to prove the impossibility of a realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics and as a manifestation of its non-local character. This work provides new theoretical evidence for the need of reviewing the meaning of Bell violations, especially when they occur outside the quantum framework. We present a local-realistic model that reproduces quantum predictions concerning Bell tests. We claim that local-realism is fully compatible with correlations that are not of the Bell type and therefore lie outside the scope of Bell's theorem. Most experimental Bell tests involve either spin vectors spanning the Bloch sphere or Stokes vectors spanning the Poincaré sphere. A suitable statistical tool that allows assessing correlations between vectors is given by inner-product-type correlations. Using them, it is possible to reproduce quantum predictions for all Bell states, thereby explaining experimental results of Bell tests within a local-realistic framework.

Bell's Theorem and Non-Commutative Measurement Algebras: A Topological Resolution via S³ × I Geometry

MYKHAYLO CHORNOMORCHENKO

Bell’s theorem is a foundational result in quantum theory, demonstrating that no local hidden-variable model satisfying certain assumptions can reproduce quantum correlations. While mathematically correct within its formal framework, the theorem implicitly relies on a specific representational choice: measurement outcomes are modeled as scalar, commutative variables (±1). This assumption, though natural for flat and static configurations, is not mandated by physical necessity. In this work, we examine the consequences of relaxing this representational constraint when measurement outcomes arise as projections of states with nontrivial topology. We show that when physical correlations are naturally organized as elements of an S³-valued structure — such as those associated with spin and rotational degrees of freedom — the induced measurement algebra becomes noncommutative. Under these conditions, the key algebraic factorizations employed in Bell-type derivations no longer apply. We construct an explicit local, realistic model in which observable correlations reproduce the quantum expectation E(a, b) = − cos θ and violate the CHSH bound S ≤ 2, without invoking non-local interactions or superluminal influences. The effective S³×I structure arises not as a fundamental substrate, but as the natural geometric form taken by the actualization of physical processes within an underlying relational framework. Importantly, this structure was not introduced to address quantum entanglement specifically; it emerged independently in the study of cosmological expansion, emergent gravity, and mass generation. Its relevance to Bell-type correlations follows as a consequence of geometry, not as an ad hoc modification. These results suggest that quantum entanglement may reflect topological features of physical realization rather than intrinsic non-locality.
