<Boris Podolsky> coauthored the 1935 argument of <Albert Einstein>, <Boris Podolsky> and <Nathan Rosen> about the completeness of the <wave function>. Their example correlates two distant particles so that a measurement on one can predict either the other's <position> or its <momentum>. Combining their certainty-based criterion for an element of reality with the assumption that the remote measurement does not disturb the second particle leads to a tension with a complete <wave function> description. The argument states assumptions about reality and disturbance; it is distinct from the later experimentally testable <Bell inequalities>.<Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete? by Albert Einstein and others>[1935 paper, reality criterion and position–momentum example]{ref}
