Which Classicality? Incidence, Simplex, and Product-Rule Tests in Finite Quantum Logics

Quantum Physics 2026-07-13 v1

Abstract

Finite quantum-logical constructions can appear classical or nonclassical depending on which structure is retained. We distinguish incidence tests based on valuations, colorings, and partition representations; simplex-embedding tests for specified prepare-and-measure fragments; and operator-functional tests imposing spectral and product rules. We show that the collective GHZ joint measurement is a single Boolean context and becomes nonclassical only when a common assignment of local factors, together with product preservation, is required. For selected labelled ray fragments, we compute state-depolarizing thresholds for a restricted projector-cone factorization and for a specified vector-generated operational closure, separating exact primal--dual certificates from numerical estimates. These values are properties of the stated fragments and noise model, not invariants of the underlying hypergraphs or a universal ordering of contextuality.
