A probabilistic inequality for the Kochen-Specker paradox

• A probabilistic version of the Kochen-Specker paradox is presented. The paradox is restated in the form of an inequality relating probabilities from a non-contextual hidden-variable model, by formulating the concept of "probabilistic contextuality." This enables an experimental test for contextuality at low experimental error rates. Using the assumption of independent errors, an explicit error bound of 0.71% is derived, below which a Kochen-Specker contradiction occurs.
