Contextuality from Single-State Ontological Models: An Information-Theoretic No-Go Theorem

This paper establishes an information-theoretic no-go theorem proving that classical ontological models constrained to reuse a single ontic state space across multiple interventions inevitably incur an irreducible contextual information cost, thereby identifying contextuality as a fundamental limitation of such classical representations that quantum theory circumvents by relaxing the single-variable assumption.
