Tsirelson Bound and C*-Algebraic Structure of Maximal CHSH Violation — E8 Intelligence Research
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: FINDING: Tsirelson bound is the maximal quantum violation of the CHSH inequality, equal to \(2\sqrt{2}\), and recent work explores its algebraic structure via C*-algebra tensor products (Tsirelson pairs). MATH: CHSH inequality: \( \langle AB \rangle + \langle AB' \rangle + \langle A'B \rangle - \langle A'B' \rangle \leq 2 \) (classical). Quantum bound: \( 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.828 \). Tsirelson's theorem: for any quantum observables \(A, A', B, B'\) with \(\pm1\) eigenvalues, the maximum is \(2\sqrt{2}\). The ratio \(2\sqrt{2} / 2 = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.414\). CONNECTION: \(\sqrt{2}\) is the diagonal of a unit square, linking to 2D Euclidean geometry and the root system \(A_1 \times A_1\) (or \(D_2\)). The ratio \(1.414\) is not a golden ratio (1.618) but appears in octonion norm and Clifford algebra structures. No direct link to 0.382, 0.618, 0.786, 2.618, or base-60. Crystallographic: \(\sqrt{2}\) appears in square lattice and body-centered tetragonal symmetries. DEPTH: 8 — Tsirels Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
