• Abstract: A new definition of "Realism" is proposed: it is that a gedanken "spectrograph" of hidden variables behaves as an actual (say, wavelength) spectrograph. The question is: does this definition allow, by itself, the derivation of Bell's inequalities? If it were, then such a spectrograph would be impossible, for Bell's inequalities are observed to be violated. In this short paper it is reported that, on the contrary, such spectrograph is compatible with the violation of Bell's inequalities. This result puts some new light on the controversy about the hypotheses necessary to derive Bell's inequalities. In particular, "Spectrograph's Realism", and "Locality", are proven to be different, and both necessary, hypotheses to derive Bell's inequalities.

• 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.

  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.

The Bell contradiction states that the Bell inequality is inconsistent with the calculated outcomes of these quantum experiments.

  A violation of Bell-CHSH inequalities does not justify speculations about quantum non-locality. For us, a violation of Bell-CHSH inequalities proves only that hidden variables have to depend on settings confirming contextual character of quantum observables.

  Marek Czachor claims that the Bell inequality cannot be proved because variables of complementary measurements cannot be added or multiplied. He has correctly identified the problems existing with the orthodox interpretation of the Bell inequality and dealt with them in an original way. The interpretation he addresses do not pertain to the original formulation given by John Stewart Bell.

  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.
