The Golay codes and Quantum Contextuality

Abstract

It is shown that the codewords of the binary and ternary Golay codes can be converted into rays in RP(23) and RP(11) that provide proofs of the Kochen-Specker theorem in real state spaces of dimension 24 and 12, respectively. Some implications of these results are discussed.
