Abstract
The Householder transformation, allowing a rewrite of probabilities into expectations of dichotomic observables, is generalized in terms of its spectral decomposition. Dichotomy is modulated by allowing more than one negative eigenvalues, or by abandoning it altogether, yielding generalized operator valued arguments for contextuality. We also discuss a form of state-dependent contextuality by variation of the functional relations of the operators; in particular, by additivity.
