State-dependent contextuality implies state-independent AvN in a partial closure

Let M\mathcal{M} be a measurement cover and let ψ\psi be a state. Say that M\mathcal{M} realizes a contextual empirical model for ψ\psi if the empirical model obtained from these measurements and this state is contextual. A partial closure is the closure operation on the measurement scenario considered in the paper.

Partial-closure AvN conjecture. Any measurement cover M\mathcal{M} that realizes a contextual empirical model for some state ψ\psi is state-independently AvN\mathrm{AvN} in a partial closure.

This conjecture proposes that state-dependent contextuality becomes state-independent all-versus-nothing contextuality after passing to a partial closure. The paper illustrates this relationship through examples including Mermin's square, CHSH scenarios, and XZXZ scenarios, but the general assertion is presented without a proof.
