On Counterfactuals and Contextuality
arXiv:quant-ph/0406014 · doi:10.1063/1.1874586
Abstract
Counterfactual reasoning and contextuality is defined and critically evaluated with regard to its nonempirical content. To this end, a uniqueness property of states, explosion views and link observables are introduced. If only a single context associated with a particular maximum set of observables can be operationalized, then a context translation principle resolves measurements of different contexts.
