"The quadrupole moment is three-dimensional, and you can choose two of three axes along which to measure it: the x-axis, the y-axis, ... you don’t expect that your choice to measure along the second or third axes should affect the result you get for the measurement along x-axis."
A cube is also three dimensional, and you can choose two of three axes along which to measure it too. But you do expect your measurements to directly effect the result of an additional measurement, precisely because merely being three-dimensional is not sufficient to cause the measurements to be independent.
QM assumes the things being measured are independent, simply because they are three dimensional, in theory. However, if they are not, then it is no surprise that the results seem "weird". The real question is, Why were the measurements ever assumed to be independent in the first place? Just because there are described, in the theory, via three parameters, that may or may not be independent of one another?

The viewpoint of Gühne, Cabello, Larsson and their colleagues that was quoted reminds me of some of the discussion on the "spookiness" page. A question needs asking ; What is "reality" in the context of physics? The word may need differentiating to specify different kinds of reality in order to unambiguously deal with objective measurement outputs that are real in their own right but were not preexisting, and the concept of a reality that exists independently of the measurement process.

The intrinsic reality seems to be related to the fundamental "dimensions" like mass, (amount of substance), charge. Length could be included in that list but it can also be a derived reality depending on how it is measured. Velocity, orientation and measured orientation of ordinary spin are not intrinsic reality. It seems to me there must be an intrinsic spin that is the rotation relative to the whole of the Object universe not relative to a measuring device. Position is an oddity. As everything is in absolute motion nothing has a precise intrinsic position but it is always somewhere. A definite unchanging position has to be an outcome of measurement, so a derived and not intrinsic property.

Tying that in with my other writing; Object reality is intrinsic reality, Image reality (output of a reality interface subsequent to EM information receipt) is a form of derived reality.

Why do you utterly confuse unreasonable codswallop with acceptable truth? You wrote: “Yes. Ordinary classical reality does not decohere very fast and so we think of classical gravity reality as permanent.” Did you mean that extraordinary unclassical reality does cohere very slowly while you think either that unclassical gravity, or classical levity was temporary?

Kuepfmueller's 1924 uncertainty refers to two different values either 1 or 1/2 where the latter one results from the assumption of positive and negative frequencies. I guess 1/2 is correct and agrees with Heisenberg's 1927 uncertainty. If only the physicists didn't doubt that the restriction to positive elapsed time necessarily implies to accept negative frequencies. Dirac rejected in a textbook negative frequency and he was certainly not the only one.

I really enjoyed reading this article. See a response to Jozen-Bo which I wrote in 2008:
This theory of an information system directly affecting the physiological function of the eye is an absolutely true statement. Reality is entirely all-inclusive. It includes all the beliefs as well as the facts, all the mental and the physical sides. There is a complete absence of separation. The dark is absence of light. Light is truth and cannot be contradicted unless by lying. And information systems like the internet are consisted of elements of truth and false statements that are analogous to real and unreal. That which appears to the human eye is information and the mind creates the interpretation. As reality is an all-inclusive set containing mental and physical elements, mind and reality cannot be separated. Reality is contained in the mind via perceptual awareness all at once these processes are creating and containing information. Perception takes place and awareness is the complex network of the creative consciousness in which reality appears. Thoughts that are both true or false are governed by perception. Perception of both the inner and outer halves of the body concept or object are happening in but one reality or the monic term infocognition. Each moment the creative mind contains mental and "physical" information.

WHY ONE MAY NEVER SEE GOD
Because reality is hard to see. (Also see this thread).
If we work on this premise, we can prevent deceiving ourselves by distinguishing the differences between God's work and blind nature's. One may walk around and experience one's fear rising in a pitch black room. Since mind is reality, you are transparent and your thoughts may become manifest unless one takes full control. According to Christopher Langan, we are transparent to the global conscious agency God, which means God is there in the room with us even in our most ignorant and fearful moments as God sees all. In regards to how and why God rarely responds to us I would think it is due to the fact that we must "go beyond" the everyday existence to reach Him and in return we may or may not be disappointed. I leave any further speculation on this matter to you the reader.

According to the configuration space intepretation of quantum mechanics, the world of our perception is just a projection of an incredibly high dimensional configuration space. Again, this interpretation of quantum mechanics is realist in that the space of all configurations has its existence and properties quite independent from our observations. But once again, this configuration space is perceptually inaccessible to us — we can only see the effects it has within our much smaller three-dimensional space. The upshot, as before, is that if you really believe quantum mechanics, then you believe that the physical world outruns our perceptions of it.

The fundamental starting point for this alternative paradigm has to be speculations about Universal Consciousness as laid out in the Vedanta of Indian Philosophy.
“The identity between the world and Brahman is explained. On this ground that all is known when the “one” is known is accounted for. Since all entities are real only as the effects of Brahman and as ensouled by Brahman, it has been said, “That is True”. In no other way are they real. Just as, in the illustration of clay and its products, the products are real only as of the nature of clay, even so the world is only as sustained by the indwelling Brahman. [10]
The universal, omniscient backdrop of Brahman as the primary stage for all further acts and scenes of the evolutionary drama, Maya, as described in Vedanta, explains the onset of the multiple layers of differentiated Consciousness, Mind, Brain, Matter, actually in the reverse, as manifestations, that are distinct and yet one and the same as the original consciousness. A logical fallacy it would seem but defended as follows. “The signfication of an identical entity by several terms which are applied to that entity on different grounds is coordinated predication. In the illustration of (say) a Purple Robe, the basic substance is one and the same, though purpleness and robeness are different from it as well as from each other. That is how the unity of a Purple Robe is established. The central principle is that whatever exists as an attribute of a substance, that being inseparable from the substance is one with that substance.” [11]

lets say we view quantum theory to counting from 1 to infinity (start with one because we cant start at nothingness), when going from a number to the next you can find similarity and rules etc... that govern what the next number with no duplication's. However there are events that do not have any context except that of themselves and the original starting point. in the case of counting this would be prime numbers. So as we may find ways to describe events such as odds/even multiples of 3 etc... there is nothing that can definitively define primes. Anyway if you apply what you are saying to my statement above then you are saying the starting point of your observation is the phenomenon creating this "quantum contextuality" ... i leave the rest for your own conclusion/judgment

Let’s see that a real observable with contextuality can exist thus showing that a hidden variable model of QM could possibly be contextual, thus not obeying the premises of the Kochen-Specker Theorem. The definition of noncontextuality given in the reference The Kochen-Specker Theorem is :
«If a QM system possesses a property (value of an observable), then it does so independently of any measurement context, i.e. independently of how that value is eventually measured.»
Let’s take a macroscopic spinning object like a pencil with a central spinning axis. It can have a clockwise or anticlockwise sense of rotation when viewed from its top.
Let’s define what I call the «relative sense of rotation». Instead of refering to the topview of the pencil for the sense of rotation, we will refer to an observer’s Z axis of reference making an angle with the spinning axis of the pencil. We will measure the sense of rotation relative to that axis. In that case, its value, clockwise or anticlockwise, depends upon the angle between the spinning axis of the pencil and the Z axis. Rotate suffisantly the Z axis towards or away from the pencil, as could be done with an astronaut in a weightlessness state, and you change the «relative sense of rotation» of the pencil from clockwise to anticlockwise or from anticlockwise to clockwise.
The measured sense of rotation here is a «contextual» value of the observable I called the «relative sense of rotation». We deal with a real observable with contextuality. I therefore see no reason why hidden variables models in QM should be presumed to be non-contextual. The key of the matter should lie in the three dimensional spatial behavior «perceived» by the measuring apparatus of the quantum phenomenon or particle under study. No «magic» there.

Dear Bertrand,
Could you possibly try a bit harder to write understandable English? You mystifyingly wrote: “Let’s see that a real observable with contextuality can exist…” All observations made with real eyes are real because they are seen with real eyes. You do not need to see if any abstract context could exist, the fact that you are really looking at a real plethora of real surfaces automatically provides all the context you will need.

You are right. «Real observable» should be replaced with something like «an observable taken from a classical physics context». Sorry for the confusion between the word «real» and the intended idea of giving a «realist» example!

Hi Bertrand
I don't think this is, what contextuality means. Your observation is relative but not contextual. An observer in one direction can share its information with another observer in another direction. If they know their relative location (rotation or distance or whatever), they can agree, that they observed the same thing. This is not possible any more in QM.
A easy introduction to contextuality seems to be in this blog.

Let me reframe clearly the question of noncontextuality and hidden variable models.
With their theorem, Kochen and Specker showed that noncontextual theories that invoke hidden variables cannot explain the outcome of quantum measurements. But it says nothing about the nature, quantum or classical, of contextual measurements.
In classical physics, the sense of rotation relative to the observer or to a measuring apparatus is clearly a contextual property. A rotating object impacting a measuring apparatus will deviate accordingly to this sense of rotation. The «subjective» act of measurement is as important here as the intrinsic rotation of the classical object. So Kochen and Specker and its reference to contextuality in no way exhausts the question of the deterministic or non-deterministic nature of quantum reality.
Let me finish by stating my own opinion on the Bohr-Einstein controversy : as proven and stated repeatedly by modern physicists, Einstein was wrong to refer implicitly to noncontextual hidden variable models but he was quite right is thinking that QM in its current form is incomplete…

Thanks for the Kochen and Specker reference. I continue to be amazed at the large number of different approaches to the quantum versus classical dilemma...is reality real?
I tend to like Category Theory as a more general approach to the algebras of either classical reality (parabolic, commuting) without phase coherence or quantum reality (elliptic, noncommuting) with phase coherence. Category Theory includes one more quantum algebra, hyperbolic, that I find especially intriguing.
However, at the root of all of these algebras is the phase coherence of matter and the quantum dilemma and all of these restatements using words like context and Hilbert space and commutation tend to obfuscate the basic notion of the quantum phase coherence of matter.
The missing piece in our quantum dilemma is gravity phase coherence, which is a very much weaker effect than charge, but phase coherence must be somehow just as important for quantum gravity as it is for quantum charge.
One of the pieces that is always missing in quantum phase arguments is the role of quantum phase of gravity with charge. Just because we can ignore gravity phase in much of our classical reality does not mean that gravity phase coherence plays no role in our quantum reality.
In a sense, the hidden variable of quantum charge lies in the nature of quantum gravity, which bonds each particle of matter to the universe as well and therefore to each other as well. Quantum gravity is ever so much weaker than quantum charge that it appears as our classical reality without phase coherence. However, gravity phase coherence is there and is simply hidden by a lack of understanding, not by its absence.

- “Could God be omniscient, if reality itself is not set until it is observed by humans? “ –
First, let us change the word “God” with “Nature” in order to avoid any offense. A simple dialogue follows:
- What if a cat observed the “particle” of the exp? Will the result be changed?
– Of course it would. But no cat is able to observe the “particle” as it...

The dialogue could finish like this:
- OK, I will try to find some more paradoxes.
I would hopping to a different response ...

Your approach to quantum physics is incomplete and flawed. We always begin with typical and ordinary experience in establishing physical fundamentals/truths. Also, it is a great and fundamental truth/fact in physics that the self represents, forms, and experiences a comprehensive approximation of experience in general by combining conscious and unconscious experience. Moreover, it seems that we want to balance being and experience AS WELL. Indeed, if we did not represent, form, and experience a comprehensive approximation of experience in general by combining conscious and unconscious experience, we would then be incapable of growth and of becoming other than we are. Should we not then also carefully consider experience as it is seen, felt, AND touched? So, in carefully examining ALL of the above, and for other reasons as well, it seems clear that the ultimate unification (AND understanding) of physics balances being and experience. It does seem clear that we want to balance (and match up) being and experience.

In the past couple months I've witnessed God a number of times. He is the self-aware reality.

Why does God have to mentioned in this article? Enough God. More science. God particle. God in the universe. Blah blah. The more God the less I want to read the article.

Contextuality is undefined without definition of INSTANT of time.
And instant of time can only be axiomatic because speed of light is axiomatic.
INSTANT OF TIME is the key concept.
