SigmaLayer/BellGenerality: the universal Bell/contextuality bounds #
Category: 7-SigmaLayer (the projective-sector layer (Paper C)).
Glossary: https://glossary.constraintsurfacedynamics.com/tsirelson-bound/
Plain-language, CSD-role and formal statements of the Tsirelson bound, with
this module as its Lean anchor. Kept symmetric by scripts/check-glossary.sh.
Where SigmaLayer/CompositeAdapters.lean inhabits the T13/T14 predicates with SPECIFIC violation witnesses
(the singlet, the maximally-entangled qudit, Cabello-18, Mermin-Peres, GHZ), this module exposes the
UNIVERSAL bounds behind them — the general form of Bell's theorem and Kochen-Specker, quantified over ALL
local-hidden-variable models, ALL quantum states, and ALL parity-(18,9) configurations:
- Classical CHSH bound (
lhv_chsh_le_two): every local-hidden-variable model has|S| ≤ 2(the Bell-CHSH inequality, for all±1response functions on any hidden-variable space). - Quantum Tsirelson bound (
qm_chsh_le_tsirelson): every quantum state has|S| ≤ 2√2(for all detector settings) — the universal quantum ceiling. - Classical CGLMP bound (
cglmp_lhv_le_two): every local-hidden-variable table hascglmp ≤ 2, for every dimensiond ≥ 2. - General Bell separation (
bell_general_separation): the classical ceiling2is strictly below the quantum ceiling2√2, and the gap is ATTAINED (the singlet reaches2√2) — so quantum correlations universally and provably exceed every local-hidden-variable model. - General Kochen-Specker (
general_ks_noNonContextualValuation): NO{0,1}valuation selects exactly one vector per basis, for ANY9-basis /18-vector configuration in which each vector lies in exactly two bases (not just the Cabello-18 instance).
These are the general theorems the corpus already proves (E91.lhvCHSH_abs_le_two,
Bell.chsh_qm_tsirelson_bound, CGLMP.cglmp_lhv_bound, KochenSpecker.no_value_assignment_18_9), lifted
into the SigmaLayer ledger as universal statements rather than per-instance witnesses.
Universal classical CHSH bound (T14, classical side). Every local-hidden-variable model — any
±1-valued measurable response functions A, B on any hidden-variable probability space — satisfies the
Bell-CHSH inequality |S| ≤ 2. The general Bell 1964 / CHSH 1969 bound.
Universal classical CGLMP bound (T14, qudit classical side). Every local-hidden-variable table
(two Bool settings per party, ZMod d outcomes) has CGLMP value ≤ 2, for every dimension d ≥ 2.
The quantum CHSH value of a bipartite state for four detector settings (the σ·a ⊗ σ·b
correlation combination).

Instances For
Universal quantum Tsirelson bound (T14, quantum side). Every unit bipartite quantum state, for
all detector settings, has |S| ≤ 2√2 — the general Tsirelson ceiling (Khalfin-Tsirelson).
General Bell separation (T14). The universal quantum-classical gap: every quantum state obeys the
Tsirelson bound 2√2, the classical local bound is 2 < 2√2, and the gap is ATTAINED (the singlet
reaches 2√2). Together with lhv_chsh_le_two (classical ≤ 2 for every hidden-variable model), this is
the general statement that quantum correlations provably and universally exceed every local model.
General Kochen-Specker (T13). For ANY assignment of 9 bases among 18 vectors in which every
vector lies in exactly two bases, no {0,1} valuation selects exactly one vector per basis: a parity
obstruction to non-contextual value assignments, general over the configuration (the Cabello-18 instance
cabello18_noNonContextualValuation is one such).
