- Abstract: The Bell experiment is discussed in the light of a new approach to the
foundation of quantum mechanics. It is concluded from the basic model that the
mind of any observer must be limited in some way: In certain contexts, he is
simply not able to keep enough variables in his mind when making decisions.
This has consequences for Bell's theorem, but it also seems to have wider
consequences.

Ontology [0.0]
John S. Bell introduced the notion of beable, as opposed to the standard notion of observable, in order to emphasize the need for an unambiguous formulation of quantum mechanics.
I show that Bell formulated in fact two different theories of beables. The first is somehow reminiscent of the Bohr views on quantum mechanics but, at the same time, is curiously adopted by Bell as a critical tool against the Copenhagen interpretation.
I consider how the distinction between the two formulations of the Bell theory of beables fares vis-a-vis the complex relationship between the theory of beables and the details of the Primitive Ontology

Bell's theorem proves that quantum theory is inconsistent with local physical models.
In the last decade, the investigation of nonlocality has moved beyond Bell's theorem to consider more sophisticated experiments.
This review discusses the main concepts, methods, results and future challenges in the emerging topic of Bell nonlocality in networks.

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 experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality.
This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment.
It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.

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.

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.
