Mark,

That "proof" was answered before.  I will answer again:

  Your High School proof is mathematically correct for Bell's assumptions. My paper argues that one of those assumptions, joint definability of the Bell observables, is not satisfied by the bivector construction.

Dear Richard and Bryan,

Yes a trivial error on equation 3. I've corrected that.

And I have changed the result to deal with cases where the p and e populations are unequal. 

It's straightforward algebra. And gives a sensible result. Bryan was right to start with a definition of correlation. That is what I have done. 

Bryan, 
Can you follow and agree with this derivation? 

Thanks 
Mark

Dear Bryan,  Mark

Sorry, I first sent this to Udi and Bryan, by mistake. Another try.

Bryan: When we calculate correlations we divide by the number of pairs of particles, not the number of particles.

Mark: your handwritten note contains an obvious misprint on line 3 I think, but I agree with your conclusion

To Bryan again, all of Mark’s “N”s are numbers of particle pairs. In his line 1, N_tot is the total number of particle pairs.

A particle pair can be of type pol, or of type coh

The two particles of a pair either lead to the same outcome or they lead to opposite outcomes.

Mark: do you agree that your line 3 is wrong? Perhaps you should correct it for Bryan.

Richard

PS I’m not sending this email to Jarek’s group because Jarek and other members of his group are getting annoyed by all the messages about Bell’s theorem. Jarek’s group is not about Bell’s theorem, it is about the nature of time.

I think Bryan is saying that quantum mechanics is correct, and local realism (local hidden variables) is not true.

He has slowly realised that Bell’s theorem is true, but hasn’t realised that he has changed his position.

Richard,

Total nonsense.  You cannot paraphrase me as to what I might think when you do  not understand what I say.  

I am NOT saying QM is correct!!!!!!!!!  You missed the big point.  I am saying fermions are not fundamental and bosons are.  I am saying that Dirac chose matter-antimatter and I chose a bivector.  The two are totally different, yet you say you THINK I agree with QM.  WRONG as always. I disagree with spin.

And "slowly coming to accept Bell" is nonescence too.  Bell, mathwise, is trivial. I accepted his inequalities 25 years ago.  I say now that Bell forgot the bivector and that is fatal to ALL Bell's work.  I mean ALL of Bell's work. (GIve me a paper on EPR by Bell that is not based on quantum weirdness.

So if you wish to speculate about my work, understand it first, or say nothing.  But you are simply playing the role you have embraced: gatekeeping Bell.  

"Bell will be fine" will be your demise.

Bryan, you claim that the singlet state correlations predicted by QM are correct.

I don’t have to understand your work at all, in order to discern contradictions in your logic.

Richard, 

Gimme a contradiction you discern in my work. Just one, or more if you wish.

Really you have nothing I cannot answer.

Mark,

Like I said, no errors, just not applicable to spin when treated as a bivector.  You assume a single space for counterfactual events.

If you aren't sure how to combine correlations from different distributions then you have to go back the definitions. 

The definition of correlation coefficients in this context is well known. Do you accept the definition.

Is any line if my proof wrong. You have not found an error in it.

There are no errors in Bell's derivation or yours. It is just that your derivation, giving |S| = 2, rests on an assumption that makes that inapplicable. 

Recall Bell said in 66  that von Neumann made the linear assumption which he rejected,  I say the single prob space does not exist for spin, so Bell is not applicable to spin

Clear?

Bryan

If there are no errors then your work is faulty. The correlation combination only required the definition of correlation coefficient. 

Your correlation summation has nothing to do with the other assumptions

Clear but wrong.

BI does apply to your variables they are unremarkable, a simple product space.

I proved that for you ages ago.

If you make this extraordinary assertion, have you ever tried to prove it

Bell says the single prob space does not exist

Neither theoretically (assuming QM) nor in reality for any well conducted successful  (CHSH violating) loophole free experiments.

Bryan read my proof. There are no assumptions in it.

I start with the standard definition of a correlation coefficient.
I do high school maths algebra
I end up with a correct equation for the correlation coefficient for two distributions.

Nothing is added. I start with a fact, do algebra and get a result that contradicts your result. ( Despite the criticism, you have never offered a derivation of your correlation addition ).

The equation that is fundamental to your paper is wrong. Plucked from the air and never derived.

Mark

So in brief, I did not use Bells assumptions. And it does apply to your model.
