    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→In contextual models, apparatus settings and outcomes are not cleanly separable variables, making the probability function's domain ill-defined for the parameter/outcome distinction.

    The claim conflates interpretive metaphysics with mathematical formalism; non-separability is a feature of *physical systems*, not proof that probability's domain itself is ill-defined.

    Key Terms

    Ill-defined(as used in logic and mathematics)
    Not clearly or properly set up; fuzzy or confused in a way that makes it impossible to work with clearly.
    Interpretive metaphysics(as used in the statement)
    Philosophical attempts to figure out what reality *really* is based on how we interpret scientific theories, rather than just accepting the math at face value.
    Mathematical formalism(philosophy of physics)
    The symbolic language and rules physicists use to describe nature precisely—like equations—as opposed to what those equations actually represent in reality.
    Non-separability(as used in quantum physics and metaphysics)
    In physics, the property that some objects or particles are so deeply connected that you can't fully describe one without describing the other—they can't be truly separated even when far apart.

    Physical systems(what IIT might be applied to beyond human experience)
    Any arrangement of matter or energy in the universe—could be a brain, a computer, a rock, or anything else made of physical stuff.
    Probability's domain(as used in philosophy of science)
    The subject matter or scope of probability theory—what kinds of things probability applies to and how we should understand what probability actually means.
    metaphysics(Hartshorne's naturalistic redefinition of metaphysics)
    On Hartshorne's view, the study not of realities beyond the physical, but of features of reality that are ubiquitous or that would exist in any possible world.
