Abstract

We have recently presented a general scheme enabling quantum modeling of different types of situations that violate Bell’s inequalities [1]. In this paper, we specify this scheme for a combination of two concepts. We work out a quantum Hilbert space model where ‘entangled measurements’ occur in addition to the expected ‘entanglement between the component concepts’, or ‘state entanglement’. We extend this result to a macroscopic physical entity, the ‘connected vessels of water’, which maximally violates Bell’s inequalities. We enlighten the structural and conceptual analogies between the cognitive and physical situations which are both examples of a nonlocal non-marginal box modeling in our classification.
