“In a paper (Bell 1966—this paper) that was written before the one in which Bell’s theorem first appeared, but, due to an editorial mishap, was published later, Bell raises the question of the viability of a hidden-variables theory that reproduces the statistical predictions of quantum mechanics via averaging over better defined states that uniquely determine the result of any experiment that could be performed. In this paper he examines several theorems that had been presented as no-go theorems for theories of this sort, and supplements them with one of his own…”–Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, “Bell’s Theorem”

“John Bell: this is one of two famous papers [this one with 2800+ citations] by John Bell on hidden variables in quantum theory. It was published in 1966 but written two years earlier. It demonstrates that John von Neumann’s “no hidden variables theorem” (1936) is incorrect. Bohm and Bub propose an experiment to test hidden variables.”– “The demonstrations of von Neumann and others, that quantum mechanics does not permit a hidden variable interpretation, are reconsidered. It is shown that their essential axioms are unreasonable. It is urged that in further examination of this problem an interesting axiom would be that mutually distant systems are independent of one another. “–abstract via Researchgate.
