What changed
Formulated a joint thought experiment relating predictions on separated systems to a criterion of physical reality, creating a precise challenge about the completeness of the wave-function description.
Scientific scope
Formulated a joint thought experiment relating predictions on separated systems to a criterion of physical reality, creating a precise challenge about the completeness of the wave-function description. Scope limitation: This records the influential argument and its stated premises, not an accepted proof that quantum mechanics is false or that all hidden-variable theories are excluded. Bell's theorem and later experiments are separate contributions. All three paper authors retain attribution.
