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 preexisting `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.
