    Supports→The correspondence between mathematical and physical orthogonality is not necessary for the KS argument, though it can be devised.

    The pure mathematical facts can be supplemented by a physical interpretation either way.

    However, the choice of a specific O that selects observables Sx2, Sy2, Sz2 at the same time selects three orthogonal rays in physical space, namely by fixing a coordinate system ±x, ±y, ±z (which defines along which orthogonal rays the squared spin components are to be measured) in physical space. So now, by choice of an observable O, there is a direct connection of directions in space with directions in H3: orthogonality in H3 now does correspond to orthogonality in physical space. The same hol
