    Challenges→The view that v(f(Q)) is an ontologically dependent property (depending on v(Q)) rather than self-sustained faces pressing difficulties as a defense of contextualist hidden variables.

    This position does not reject questions about values of f(Q) in a P-measurement situation as illegitimate, since it does not rely on an observable being well-defined in only one context.

    Context-dependent(describing whether comicality is a fixed property or varies by situation)
    Something that changes meaning or value depending on the situation or circumstances it's in, rather than always being the same.
    Observable(in quantum mechanics and physics)
    A property or measurement of something that can actually be detected or measured, like the position or spin of a particle.

    (a) We might think that v(f(Q)) just is not a self-sustained physical property, but one which ontologically depends on the presence of another property v(Q). (Recall that in the proof of FUNC v(f(Q)) is constructed from v(Q).) But, since the position does not reject questions about values of f(Q) in a P-measurement situation as illegitimate (because it does not trade on a notion of an observable being well-defined in one context only!), this seems to lead to new and pressing questions, to say t
