Abstract

Two examples are given that substantially simplify the no-hidden-variables theorem of Kochen and Specker, greatly reducing the number of observables considered and requiring no intricate geometric argument. While one of the examples also obeys a more powerful version of Bell's theorem, the other does not. The examples provide a new perspective on both of these fundamental theorems and on the relation between them.
