Ok I think I understand your intention with the code now. Sorry I was wrong before. I think what you're talking about here is what gets called the "detection loophole" in most of the literatire. The idea that if we detect onl

If I understand correctly what your script is doing, it emphatically does not meet the challenge I gave above (specifically it fails the "but the state is local" part of your comment). This is because of the post-selection on line

I guarantee you can't break (for example) the CHSH inequality [1] with such a set-up (assuming I've understood your description of what you're proposing), and encourage you to try (with similar python script). An easy formula

I think its more likely this is just an easy way to trick this model. It's seen lots of riddles, so when it's sees something that looks like a riddle but isn't one it gets confused.

Ah yeah, if you're not trying to identify all loops but just check if some loops exist then that works. I think you can dispense with the "walking around taking clockwise/anticlockwise edges" part though. If you repeated

Everything up to the [spoiler ahead] in this comment is (as far as I can tell) exactly how things work in standard formulations of Bell's inequality. There's nothing weird or crackpot there. Your numerical code is impossible for

You can probably define locality in a way that MWI is nonlocal, but you can also definitely define it in a way such that MWI is local. For me the most important thing about nonlocality is the lack of any "action at a distance", MW

Will you grant me that it is at least possible to derive Bell's inequality by listing out a complete set of assumptions (including assumptions that define what a measurement is and what observations are)? Of course you personally may d

It sounds like what you want is scirate. As far as I understand from this post this new thing is just scirate but lacking the interface you're talking about here.

The feelings & wishes of the model are the most important, but also important is the impact on people (especially women) in the field, as the links I posted earlier point out, this impact is generally quite negative.

I don't find the Lenna image particularly erotic? I guess shes showing her shoulder which might be particularly risqué where you're from? Certainly for me the Jennifer image is at least comparable.

Theres pretty much exactly as much that is sexual about the Lenna image. Its still not appropriate in the workplace or in research. For a start using images like this has obvious and widely negative impacts on women entering your field htt
