Abstract

Contextuality (or lack thereof) is a property of systems of random variables. Among the measures of the degree of contextuality, two have played important roles. One of them, Contextual Fraction (CNTF\text{CNTF}) was proposed within the framework of the sheaf-theoretic approach to contextuality, and extended to arbitrary systems in the Contextuality-by-Default approach. The other, denoted CNT2\text{CNT}_{2}, was proposed as one of the measures within the Contextuality-by-Default approach. In this note, I prove that CNTF=2CNT2\text{CNTF}=2\text{CNT}_{2} within a class of systems, called cyclic, that have played a prominent role in contextuality research.
