Before Bell, QM already knew that if you measure certain apparently rotational properties of a pair of entangled particles from complementary observational angles, particle a comes out +1 and particle b of the entangled pair comes out -1.
QM also had discovered that if you're off on your angle, if two observations diverge from a complementary angle, the odds, statistically in multiple observations, of clearly obtaining a clear and correct +1 or -1, was tied to the cosine of the divergence in observational angle. Bell's Theorem ostensibly proves that the classical mathematical odds for such coincidence of observational result does not equal cos θ ("cosine theta" where θ "theta" is the angle of divergence between observational angles for the two observations). However, in this, Bell appears to assume integrality of dimension as a property of quantum mechanical entities.
