Notes on the Conway-Kochen Twin Argument
Abstract
This is a revision of my original posting, in which I raised objections to part of the Conway-Kochen argument. I now agree with them that their recent reply answers my original concerns. In the first part of these notes (identical to the original), I give a reformulation of the part of the Conway-Kochen result that closes the contextuality loophole in the original Kochen-Specker (KS) theorem. In the second part (modified in this revision) I review my concerns connected with the finite time needed to make a measurement, and briefly indicate how Conway and Kochen have reponded to them.
