Bell's theorem implies no local hidden-variable model reproduces quantum predictions; Pitowsky's result requires non-locality, which defeats the classical framework's original motivation.

Bell's theorem(as used in quantum physics): A mathematical proof by physicist John Bell showing that if the universe has hidden predetermined properties, then distant particles must mysteriously influence each other instantly, which seems impossible.
Classical framework(as used in physics history and philosophy of science): The traditional physics (starting with Newton) that describes how everyday objects move and interact, based on the idea that things only affect each other through contact or forces traveling through space.
Hidden-variable model(as used in quantum physics philosophy): A theory that suggests quantum particles have definite properties (hidden from us) that determine their behavior, rather than being genuinely random or uncertain as quantum mechanics suggests.
Non-locality(as used in quantum physics and philosophy): The idea that objects or events can instantly influence each other even when they're far apart, without anything traveling between them—which seems to contradict our everyday experience.
