This article examines the fine-tuning problem in quantum contextuality, where distinctions at the ontological level vanish at the operational level. It explores how this disappearance might be explained through a physical process of information erasure, tied to entropy and potential heat dissipation, echoing earlier ideas like Valentini’s quantum equilibrium. By reframing ontological models as fundamental theories, the piece suggests that quantum theory itself could emerge from a deeper layer of physics, resolving the apparent paradox of contextuality.

This article introduces a hierarchy of contextuality within GPT systems, framed through the lens of resource theory. It explores how contextuality can be quantified using “monotones” like classical excess, and applies the parity oblivious multiplexing (POM) game as a practical measure. Together, these approaches provide both a theoretical and operational foundation for understanding contextuality in generalized probabilistic theories.

This article unpacks the operational theory behind GPT (Generalized Probability Theory) systems, defining how states, effects, and measurements are constructed. It explores how GPT systems can be simulated using ontological models, distinguishes classical from quantum behavior, and introduces univalent simulations as a tool to understand embeddability and contextuality. Together, these concepts provide a rigorous framework for analyzing how generalized probabilistic systems behave and interact.

This article explains contextuality within General Probabilistic Theories (GPTs), focusing on prepare-and-measure scenarios that describe how systems like qubits behave under different states and measurements. By outlining GPT systems as convex sets of states and effects, it highlights how contextuality emerges, why composites and tensor products matter, and how these frameworks extend beyond classical systems to capture quantum-like behaviors.

This article introduces a hierarchy of generalized contextuality, refining the traditional binary of contextual vs. non-contextual theories. Using general probabilistic theories (GPTs) as a framework, it proposes a resource theory where simulations act as free operations and introduces classical excess as a new monotone for measuring contextuality. Alongside this, the parity-oblivious multiplexing protocol serves as another monotone, offering practical ways to quantify how “contextual” a theory really is. By moving beyond a simple yes/no distinction, this hierarchy provides a more nuanced lens to compare theories, highlighting contextuality as a measurable resource for quantum information processing.

New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani said Monday that he withdrew from a local ABC town hall in protest of the network’s decision to suspend late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel.Mamdani blasted the “cowardice” of the network’s parent company, Disney, in its decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air indefinitely in the wake of pressure from the Trump administration. The WABC town hall that Mamdani was set to participate in was scheduled for Thursday.“It is not the government’s job to bully talk show hosts off of the air. It is not the government’s job to tell us what we can and cannot talk about,” Mamdani said at a campaign event on Roosevelt Island in New York City, adding that the message sent by the sequence of events at ABC “is a message that the First Amendment is no longer a right that can be counted on.”Mamdani referred to “the responsibility that all of us have in this moment to showcase just how unacceptable these kinds of actions are, how unacceptable it is that we are living in a moment where Donald Trump’s actions are the ones which determine whether or not we can enjoy that which we have taken for granted for so many years.” Celebrity News2 hours agoTom Hanks, Meryl Streep and hundreds of other stars sign letter backing Jimmy KimmelTrump administrationSep 19Pressure mounts on Disney over Kimmel suspension as some boycott calls spreadTrump administrationSep 19Ted Cruz rips FCC chair's Jimmy Kimmel threat as ‘unbelievably dangerous'He added that, “We cannot be free if we are subservient to those who abuse power for their own ends,” taking shots not only at Trump, but his two main competitors in the mayoral election, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams.“We cannot understand this moment of authoritarianism as solely coming from the White House when it is also a moment that is characterized by the cowardice of those in response to it, the cowardice that we have seen typified, whether by the parent company of ABC, or by so-called leaders like Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams.”Mamdani said he was withdrawing from the town hall event “in response to the corporate leaders who will put their bottom line ahead of their responsibility in upholding the freedom of the press.”In response to Mamdani’s comments, Cuomo campaign spokesperson Rich Azzopardi said that “ABC suspending Kimmel was a big mistake, but refusing to talk to local reporters because of the actions of their parent company shouldn’t pass anyone’s smell test and the press shouldn’t continue to give him a pass.” Azzopardi accused Mamdani of “running from reporters” in the months since the June primary “and refusing to answer direct questions on” various campaign positions.Spokespersons for the White House, for Disney and for the Adams campaign didn’t immediately respond to questions from NBC News about Mamdani’s comments.Mamdani added that he remained “eager to take questions from the public” and said that he was “committed to taking another town hall in the weeks to come.”NBC New York is scheduled to host a mayoral debate on Oct. 16.ABC said last week that it had pulled Kimmel’s show off the air “indefinitely,” citing the late-night host’s comments about the motivations of the man who authorities say fatally shot conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The move came after Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr threatened to “take action” against Disney and ABC over Kimmel’s remarks.Following Carr’s comments, Nexstar Media Group Inc. announced that the company’s ABC affiliates would pre-empt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for the foreseeable future. Nexstar, which has more than 200 stations in the U.S., is waiting on FCC approval for a $6.2 billion acquisition of the media company Tegna.Kimmel’s suspension has sparked outrage from Democrats and free speech advocates who say the comedian was punished for saying things the administration disliked.Mamdani scored an upset victory in the June Democratic mayoral primary over Cuomo, who is continuing his bid as an independent. Adams is also running as an independent.Rebecca Keegan contributed.
