Start with a probability measure e on a space of observable (empirical) variables. Can we nd an extended space that includes hiddenvariables, and a probability measure p on this space, where p is required to satisfy certain independence conditions, so that e can be obtained from p? This question can be asked about either classical or quantum-mechanical systems. (In a typical classical case, a negative answer might tell us that two parties Ann and Bob have a communication channel. In a typical quantum-mechanical case, a negative answer might tell us that two spatially separated particles are entangled.) When the space of observables is nite or countable, we give a complete answer to the question: We dene a set of inequalities (obtainable from a larger set via Fourier-Motzkin elimination) that describes the probability measures e that can be so analyzed. When the space of observables has a countably generated -algabra, we are able to give a necessary condition.
