Are quantum particles really particulate or Bell theorems without inequalities for two and three spinless particles

The possibility of applying perfect correlation type arguments to two particles is investigated. A disproof of local realism for two spinless particles has been found, but it requires a different extension of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) approach. This extension adopts an additional assumption beyond those enunciated by EPR, an assumption consistent with a very strongly particulate view of the nature of a quantum mechanical system. Moreover, without extending the EPR program, one can still prove EPR local realism incompatible with quantum mechanics, using only experiments with definite outcomes, if one considers a three-particle system.
