Contextuality  

In General > s.a. foundations of quantum mechanics / Entropic Dynamics; Hardy's Thought Experiment.
* Idea: The impossibility of a hidden-variable model of quantum theory wherein the representation of measurements does not depend on the context of the measurement (see the Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem); The simplest proof is considered to be Hardy's.
