A Kochen-Specker Theorem for Imprecisely Specified Measurement

TL;DR

This paper refutes the claim that finite measurement precision nullifies the Kochen-Specker theorem, demonstrating that small experimental variations do not eliminate the theorem's implications due to the continuity of measurement outcome probabilities.

Contribution

It provides a rigorous argument showing that finite precision does not invalidate the Kochen-Specker theorem, countering recent claims to the contrary.

Findings

Finite precision does not nullify the Kochen-Specker theorem.

Measurement outcome probabilities are continuous under small experimental changes.

The theorem's implications remain robust despite experimental imprecision.

Abstract

A recent claim that finite precision in the design of real experiments ``nullifies'' the impact of the Kochen-Specker theorem, is shown to be unsupportable, because of the continuity of probabilities of measurement outcomes under slight changes in the experimental configuration.
