An Order-Theoretic Quantification of Contextuality
In this essay, I develop order-theoretic notions of determinism and contextuality on domains and topoi. In the process, I develop a method for quantifying contextuality and show that the order-theoretic sense of contextuality is analogous to the sense embodied in the topos-theoretic statement of the Kochen–Specker theorem. Additionally, I argue that this leads to a relation between the entropy ...
متن کاملThe Sheaf-Theoretic Structure Of Non-Locality and Contextuality
Locality and non-contextuality are intuitively appealing features of classical physics, which are contradicted by quantum mechanics. The goal of the classic no-go theorems by Bell, Kochen-Specker, et al. is to show that non-locality and contextuality are necessary features of any theory whose predictions agree with those of quantum mechanics. We use the mathematics of sheaf theory to analyze th...
متن کاملA Unified Sheaf-Theoretic Account Of Non-Locality and Contextuality
A number of landmark results in the foundations of quantum mechanics show that quantum systems exhibit behaviour that defies explanation in classical terms, and that cannot be accounted for in such terms even by postulating “hidden variables” as additional unobserved factors. Much has been written on these matters, but there is surprisingly little unanimity even on basic definitions or the inte...
متن کاملAn Order-Theoretic Property of the Commutator
We describe a new order-theoretic property of the commutator for finite algebras. As a corollary we show that any right nilpotent congruence on a finite algebra is left nilpotent. The result is false for infinite algebras and the converse is false even for finite algebras. We show further that any solvable E-minimal algebra is left nilpotent, any finite algebra whose congruence lattice contains...
متن کاملAn Order Theoretic Characterization of Nested Spaces
A characterization of nested spaces in terms of their order theoretic properties is given. This characterization is analogous to the order theoretic characterization of trees given by L. E. Ward, Jr. Partial orders in topological spaces have been of great interest to topologists since the classic work of Nachbin [7]. Later L. E. Ward, Jr. [11] studied partially ordered topological spaces and in...
