contents We consider an ontology, in which contextual nonlocal hidden variables are stored as pre-existing possibilities in a repository outside space-time; and in which the context can be chosen ``freely'' (measurement independence) by each agent, both in spacelike and timelike configurations. We show that, in Bell-type experiments involving several agents, for this ontology to be consistent, the context must include not only the measurements that can be performed, but also the time ordering of the choices of different agents.
