Towards a Paraconsistent Quantum Set Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we will attempt to establish a connection between quantum set theory, as developed by Ozawa, Takeuti and Titani (see, for example, [13], [12], [10]), and topos quantum theory, as developed by Isham, Butterfield and Döring, amongst others (see, for example, [8], [6], [3]). Towards this end, we will study algebraic valued set-theoretic structures whose truth values correspond to the clopen subobjects of the spectral presheaf of an orthomodular lattice of projections onto a given Hilbert space. In particular, we will attempt to recreate, in these new structures, Takeuti’s original isomorphism between the set of all Dedekind real numbers in a suitably constructed model of set theory and the set of all self adjoint operators on a chosen Hilbert space.

Paraconsistent Quasi-Set Theory
Paraconsistent logics are logics that can be used to base inconsistent but non-trivial systems. In paraconsistent set theories, we can quantify over sets that in standard set theories (that are based on classical logic), if consistent, would lead to contradictions, such as the Russell set, R = {x : x / ∈ x}. Quasi-set theories are mathematical systems built for dealing with collections of indis...
متن کاملInconsistencies in Constituent Theories of World Views : Quantum Mechanical Examples ∗
We put forward the hypothesis that there exist three basic attitudes towards inconsistencies within world views: (1) The inconsistency is tolerated temporarily and is viewed as an expression of a temporary lack of knowledge due to an incomplete or wrong theory. The resolution of the inconsistency is believed to be inherent to the improvement of the theory. This improvement ultimately resolves t...
متن کاملThe Paraconsistent Logic of Quantum Superpositions
Physical superpositions exist both in classical and in quantum physics. However, what is exactly meant by ‘superposition’ in each case is extremely different. In this paper we discuss some of the multiple interpretations which exist in the literature regarding superpositions in quantum mechanics. We argue that all these interpretations have something in common: they all attempt to avoid ‘contra...
متن کاملZf and the Axiom of Choice in Some Paraconsistent Set Theories
In this paper, we present set theories based upon the paraconsistent logic Pac. We describe two different techniques to construct models of such set theories. The first of these is an adaptation of one used to construct classical models of positive comprehension. The properties of the models obtained in that way give rise to a natural paraconsistent set theory which is presented here. The statu...
متن کاملThe witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and its preservers
One of unsolved problems in quantum measurement theory is to characterize coexistence of quantum effects. In this paper, applying positive operator matrix theory, we give a mathematical characterization of the witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and obtain a series of properties of coexistence. We also devote to characterizing bijective morphisms on quantum effects leaving the witness...
