Bell Inequality as a Theorem of Charlton Geometry: A Non-Invertibility Route to Quantum Correlation Bounds
Abstract
We derive the Bell–CHSH inequality as a conditional theorem inside Charlton Geometry (CG), rather than as an independent axiom about “local realism”. The key CG primitive is non-invertibility, η(ω) = η(−ω), which forces an observational quotient and produces irrecoverable “lost state” carried by polarity and intrinsic phase. In a bipartite experiment, Bell’s bound is recovered exactly when one adds an additional factorization condition asserting that outcomes depend only on local settings and a local lift choice, i.e. that the lost-state fiber decomposes into independent local fibers. Within CG, the natural geometric coupling of two regions through shared lift and holonomy generically violates that factorization while preserving operational no-signaling, so the Bell inequality becomes a theorem about a restricted subclass of quotients rather than a universal constraint. Using the Born brick as an upstream theorem that fixes the unique binary law cos2(θ/2) on the spin-lifted setting space, we recover the standard singlet correlation E(a, b) = −a °§ b and the Tsirelson bound 2√2 as the sharp CG-compatible CHSH maximum. In this framing, Bell violation is not an ontic miracle but the expected signature of a globally shared, non-invertible geometric substate whose reversal cannot be represented
