Contextual interpretations (like Kochen-Specker) demonstrate that assigning pre-existing values requires outcome values to depend on the full measurement context, not just apparatus settings alone.

Pre-existing values(as a concept in quantum mechanics debates)
The idea that particles have definite properties (like position or spin) that exist before we measure them, rather than being created by the act of measurement itself.
measurement context(in quantum mechanics and philosophy of science)
All the conditions and setup surrounding how and when you measure something—the idea that the method of measurement affects what you find.
