Abstract

Bell’s theorem is a foundational result in quantum theory, demonstrating that no local hidden-variable model satisfying certain assumptions can reproduce quantum correlations. While mathematically correct within its formal framework, the theorem implicitly relies on a specific representational choice: measurement outcomes are modeled as scalar, commutative variables (±1). This assumption, though natural for flat and static configurations, is not mandated by physical necessity. In this work, we examine the consequences of relaxing this representational constraint when measurement outcomes arise as projections of states with nontrivial topology. We show that when physical correlations are naturally organized as elements of an S³-valued structure — such as those associated with spin and rotational degrees of freedom — the induced measurement algebra becomes noncommutative. Under these conditions, the key algebraic factorizations employed in Bell-type derivations no longer apply. We construct an explicit local, realistic model in which observable correlations reproduce the quantum expectation E(a, b) = − cos θ and violate the CHSH bound S ≤ 2, without invoking non-local interactions or superluminal influences. The effective S³×I structure arises not as a fundamental substrate, but as the natural geometric form taken by the actualization of physical processes within an underlying relational framework. Importantly, this structure was not introduced to address quantum entanglement specifically; it emerged independently in the study of cosmological expansion, emergent gravity, and mass generation. Its relevance to Bell-type correlations follows as a consequence of geometry, not as an ad hoc modification. These results suggest that quantum entanglement may reflect topological features of physical realization rather than intrinsic non-locality.
