Nonseparability, Potentiality and the Context-dependence of Quantum Objects

ion of their entangled correlations with the chosen context of investigation. Thus, the resulting contextual object is the quantum object exhibiting a particular property with respect to a certain experimental situation. The contextual character of property-ascription implies, however, that a state-dependent property of a quantum object is not a welldefined property that has been possessed prior to the object’s entry into an appropriate context. This also means that not all contextual properties can be ascribed to an object at once. One and the same quantum object does exhibit several possible contextual manifestations in the sense that it can be assigned several definite incommeasurable properties only with respect to distinct experimental arrangements which mutually
