108Schütte's tautology and the Kochen-Specker theoremFoundations of Physics 26 (6): 787-806. 1996.I present a new 33-ray proof of the Kochen and Specker “no-go” hidden variable theorem in ℋ3, based on a classical tautology that corresponds to a contingent quantum proposition in ℋ3 proposed by Kurt Schütte in an unpublished letter to Specker in 1965. 1 discuss the relation of this proof to a 31-ray proof by Conway and Kochen, and to a 33-ray proof by Peres

110EprFoundations of Physics 22 (3): 313-332. 1992.We present an exegesis of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen argument for the incompleteness of quantum mechanics, and defend it against the critique in Fine. (1) We contend,contra Fine, that it compares favorably with an argument reconstructed by him from a letter by Einstein to Schrödinger; and also with one given by Einstein in a letter to Popper. All three arguments turn on a dubious assumption of “separability,” which accords separate elements of reality to space-like separated systems. We discuss…Read more
