Description
We introduce a contextual quantum system comprising mutually complementary observables organized into two or more collections of pseudocontexts with the same probability sums of outcomes. These pseudocontexts constitute nonorthogonal bases within the Hilbert space, featuring a state-independent sum of probabilities. In other words, regardless of the initial-state preparation, the total probability remains constant but may be distinct from unity. The measurement contextuality in this setup arises from the quantum realizations of the hypergraph, which adhere to a specific bound on the linear combination of probabilities. In contrast, classical realizations can surpass this bound. The violation of quantum bounds stems from the inability of classical ontological models, specifically the set-theoretic representation of the hypergraph corresponding to the quantum observables' collections, to adhere to and explain the observed statistics.
