摘要：

A central principle of consistent histories quantum theory, the requirement that quantum descriptions he based upon a single framework (or family), is employed to show that there is no conflict between consistent histories and a no-hidden-variables theorem of Bell, and Kochen and Specker, contrary to a recent claim by Bassi and Ghirardi. The argument makes use of 'truth functionals' defined on a Boolean algebra of classical or quantum properties. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
