While applicable across a broad range of disciplines, the concept of contextuality in this book is closest to that in quantum physics, where its special forms – in the absence of disturbance – are known as Bell nonlocality and Kochen–Specker contextuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis systematic introduction requires no prior familiarity with the subject and a very modest mathematical background.
