  When the absolute values of the coefficients ci are all unequal, the bases {|αi&gt;} and {|βi&gt;} and the above decomposition of |ψ8 &gt;S1+S2 are unique. In that case, it is postulated that S1 has a determinate value for each observable associated with HS1 with the basis {|αi&gt;} and S2 has a determinate value for each observable associated with HS2 with the basis {|βi&gt;}, and |ci|2 provide the (ignorance) probabilities of the possible values that these observables may  have.[22]  For example, suppose that the state of the L- and the R-particle in the EPR/B experiment before the measurements is:
