The observer-independent facts assumption is equivalent to Kochen-Specker noncontextuality.
“In other words, the OIF assumption is equivalent to the assumption of Kochen-Specker noncontextuality [22, 23] (KSNC).”
From A strong no-go theorem on the Wigner’s friend paradox (2020) · cites this paper as [22]
The Kochen-Specker theorem already establishes that Kochen-Specker noncontextuality plus freedom of choice leads to contradictions with quantum theory.
“Furthermore, the KochenSpecker theorem [22] already establishes that KSNC + 'freedom of choice' leads to contradictions with quantum theory.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
