Quantum measurement

Counterfactual definiteness

In quantum mechanics, counterfactual definiteness (CFD) is the ability to speak "meaningfully" of the definiteness of the results of measurements that have not been performed (i.e., the ability to assume the existence of objects, and properties of objects, even when they have not been measured). The term "counterfactual definiteness" is used in discussions of physics calculations, especially those related to the phenomenon called quantum entanglement and those related to the Bell inequalities. In such discussions "meaningfully" means the ability to treat these unmeasured results on an equal footing with measured results in statistical calculations. It is this (sometimes assumed but unstated) aspect of counterfactual definiteness that is of direct relevance to physics and mathematical models of physical systems and not philosophical concerns regarding the meaning of unmeasured results. "Counterfactual" may appear in physics discussions as a noun. What is meant in this context is "a value that could have been measured but, for one reason or another, was not." (Wikipedia).

The Contrapositive and Proof by Contrapositive

The contrapositive is a powerful tool that can be used to prove various mathematical statements. It is most useful when a direct proof is awkward or impossible, and - if it can be used - is often a much more elegant method that employing proof by contradiction. #proof #contrapositive #proo

Counterexamples are one of the most powerful types of proof methods in math and philosophy. When you give a counterexample, you are demonstrating that some claim if false. For instance, if I say that every prime number is odd, I can disprove that claim by observing that 2 is a prime which
