Contextual Fraction as a Measure of Contextuality [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2017 We consider the contextual fraction as a quantitative measure of contextuality of empirical models, i.e. tables of probabilities of measurement outcomes in an experimental scenario. It provides a general way to compare the degree of contextuality across measurement scenarios; it bears a precise relationship to violations of Bell inequalities; its value,

Measures of contextuality and non-contextuality [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2019 We discuss three measures of the degree of contextuality in contextual systems of dichotomous random variables. These measures are developed within the framework of the Contextuality-by-Default (CbD) theory, and apply to inconsistently connected systems (those with ‘disturbance’ allowed).

Contextualizing ontologies [PDF]
Journal of Web Semantics, 2004 Ontologies are shared models of a domain that encode a view which is common to a set of different parties. Contexts are local models that encode a party's subjective view of a domain. In this paper, we show how ontologies can be contextualized, thus acquiring certain useful properties that a pure shared approach cannot provide.

Quantifying Contextuality [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 Contextuality is central to both the foundations of quantum theory and to the novel information processing tasks. Although it was recognized before Bell's nonlocality, despite some recent proposals, it still faces a fundamental problem: how to quantify its presence? In this work, we provide a framework for quantifying contextuality.

Contextuality and Indistinguishability [PDF]
Entropy, 2017 It is well known that in quantum mechanics we cannot always define consistently properties that are context independent. Many approaches exist to describe contextual properties, such as Contextuality by Default (CbD), sheaf theory, topos theory, and non-standard or signed probabilities.

Defending Standards Contextualism [PDF]
, 2015 It has become more common recently for epistemologists to advocate the pragmatic encroachment on knowledge, the claim that the appropriateness ofknowledge ascriptions is dependent on the relevant practical circumstances.

Un desafío al contextualismo epistémico
Tópicos, 2014 An adequate theory of knowledge attribution sentences must face the Cartesian Skeptical Challenge. Epistemic Contextualism offers an attractive solution to the problem. This is considered to be one of its principal virtues. However, as soon as we ask for

Análisis Filosófico, 2014 It has recently been argued that Subject-Sensitive Invariantism conflicts with an attractive testimonial principle of transmission. One might think, given the differences between Subject-Sensitive Invariantism and Contextualism, the latter would not be ...
