| Sumario: | In this paper we present Aerts' vessels of water model which violates Bell inequalities, and discuss how this fits in the Creation Discovery View in the context of the Operational Quantum Logic approach. We analyze the 2 different ways in which correlation is classically observed, either as pre-existing 'independent of measurement' or established by sending a signal, hence limited by the speed of light. As the Aerts' model shows, there is yet a third possibility, namely a situation in which correlation is potentially present, but only actualized to its full extent by the act of measurement. This creation-discovery view can be applied to the quantum mechanical situation of two entangled photons, and shows that in the debate of understanding 'what is really going on in Aspects experiments' an alternative explanation can be found, in which potentiality, creation and discovery play a central role. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
