J.S. Bell (Physics Vol.1, No. 3, 1964) excludes from consideration any distribution \rho of the hidden variable \lambda that formally depends on the vectors a and b , except if \rho ( \lambda ,a,b) = \rho ' ( \lambda ,a) \rho ' ( \lambda ,b) i.e. if the distribution can be factored in a part depending on a and not on b and another part depending on b and not on a . Otherwise he could not derive (22). On precisely which grounds did Bell introduce this restriction? For example, does the locality requirement lead to this restriction? How?Are other principles involved?
Edit: I made an unforgivable error: According to Bell, neither \lambda itself nor its density distribution \rho ( \lambda ) may depend on a and b . The question is still the same: why not?
