Reassessing John Bell’s Response to EPR

I identify the error that John Bell suspected in the defiance of his inequality by quantum probabilities when presuming local realism, in the form he had presented it in his original publication of 1964. While he was aware of one functional restriction among the three spin-products involved in deriving the inequality, there are actually three such binding restrictions, and he neglected all three when assessing it. The situation is resolved by linear programming computations that support the locality of quantum phenomena. The inequality is not defied by quantum probabilities, the quantum expectations are found to be stable, and local realism is preserved.

Abstract

I identify the error that John Bell suspected in the defiance of his inequality by quantum probabilities when presuming local realism, in the form he had presented it in his original publication of 1964. While he was aware of one functional restriction among the three spin-products involved in deriving the inequality, there are actually three such binding restrictions, and he neglected all three when assessing it. The situation is resolved by linear programming computations that support the locality of quantum phenomena. The inequality is not defied by quantum probabilities, the quantum expectations are found to be stable, and local realism is preserved.
