Abstract: The Bell inequality constrains the outcomes of measurements on pairs of distant entangled particles. The Bell contradiction states that the Bell inequality is inconsistent with the calculated outcomes of these quantum experiments. This contradiction led many to question the underlying assumptions, viz. so-called realism and locality. This paper proposes an appropriate probability model for the Bell experiment. This model has only two simultaneously observable detector settings per measurement, and therefore does not assume realism. It is in full agreement with both quantum mechanics and experiments. In this model the expectation for a particular pair of observations is partial to the selected detector settings. This leads to a slightly different variant of the Bell inequality, one that is consistent with both quantum mechanics and measurements. In this model there is no Bell contradiction. Furthermore, the proposed probability model is statistically local, is not factorizable, and is not Bell-separable. The latter implies that either hidden variables must be ruled out, or that locality must be violated. Thus, our conclusion agrees with Bell's conclusion.

Time series and the meaning of quantum non-locality [55.2480439325792]
The derivation of Bell's inequalities gives precise meaning to the idea of quantum non-locality. It also makes evident why using it for faster than light signaling is impossible. It is demonstrated that series of outcomes, even if they violate Bell's inequalities, can be always embedded in a set of factual and counter-factual data.

Some consequences of Sica's approach to Bell's inequalities [55.2480439325792]
Louis Sica derived Bell's inequalities from the hypothesis that the time series of outcomes observed in one station does not change if the setting in the other station is changed. In this paper, Sica's approach is extended to series with non ideal efficiency and to the actual time structure of experimental data.

Response: Commentary: Is the moon there if nobody looks? Bell inequalities and physical reality [0.0]
Gill and Lambare completely misinterpret the content and conclusions of this article. Their model defines a probabilistic coupling for our model describing only the raw data from Bell tests. Inequalities cannot be derived because our model violates statistical independence.

Experimentally adjudicating between different causal accounts of Bell inequality violations via statistical model selection [0.0]
Bell inequalities follow from a set of seemingly natural assumptions about how to provide a causal model of a Bell experiment. Two types of causal models that modify some of these assumptions have been proposed. We seek to adjudicate between these alternatives based on their predictive power.

Non-Boolean Hidden Variables model reproduces Quantum Mechanics' predictions for Bell's experiment [91.3755431537592]
Theory aimed to violate Bell's inequalities must start by giving up Boolean logic. "Hard" problem is to predict the time values when single particles are detected. "Soft" problem is to explain the violation of Bell's inequalities within (non-Boolean) Local Realism.

Bell's theorem for trajectories [62.997667081978825]
A trajectory is not an outcome of a quantum measurement, in the sense that there is no observable associated with it. We show how to overcome this problem by considering a special case of our generic inequality that can be experimentally tested point-by-point in time.

A strong no-go theorem on the Wigner's friend paradox [0.0]
We prove that if quantum evolution is controllable on the scale of an observer, then one of 'No-Superdeterminism', 'Locality' or 'Absoluteness of Observed Events' must be false. We show that although the violation of Bell-type inequalities in such scenarios is not in general sufficient to demonstrate the contradiction between those three assumptions, new inequalities can be derived in a theory-independent manner.
