Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The mathematical essence of contextuality lies in the similarity of random variables answering the same question in different contexts: contextuality means they are less similar when considered within their respective contexts than when isolated from them. This book presents a principled way of measuring this similarity and distinguishing two forms of context-dependence: contextuality and disturbance. While applicable across a broad range of disciplines, the concept of contextuality in this book is closest to that in quantum physics, where its special forms in the absence of disturbance are known as Bell nonlocality and KochenSpecker contextuality. This systematic introduction requires no prior familiarity with the subject and a very modest mathematical background. Structured as a textbook, complete with exercises and solutions, it is accessible to a broad readership and suitable for teaching. It will be useful to researchers and students in quantum mechanics, philosophy of science, psychology, computer science, linguistics, and probability theory. This systematic introduction to the theory of contextuality requires no previous familiarity with the subject and little knowledge of mathematics. It will be useful for researchers and students in quantum mechanics, philosophy of science, psychology, computer science, linguistics, and probability theory. This item is printed on demand.
