On The Significance of Bell's Locality Condition

Reviewing the general representation of a stochastic local hidden variables theory in the context of an ideal Bohm's version of the EPR experiment, we show explicitly that the violation of Bell's locality condition is due to the assumption of ``outcome independence'' at the hidden variables level. Also, we show that if we introduce determinism, the assumption of outcome independence will be allowed.

The Possibility of Factorizable Contextual Hidden Variable Theories

Considering an extended type of Bohm's version of EPR thought experiment, we derive Bell's inequality for the case of factorizable contextual hidden variable theories which are consistent with the predictions of quantum theory. Usually factorizability is associated with non-contextuality. Here, we show that factorizability is consistent with contextuality, even for the ordinary Bohm's version of EPR thought experiment.
