A sheaf-theoretic topos model of the physical 'Continuum' and its cohomological observable dynamics

The physical “continuum” is being modeled as a complex of events interconnected by the relation of extension and forming an abstract partially ordered structure. Operational physical procedures for discerning observable events assume their existence and validity locally, by coordinatizing the informational content of those observable events in terms of real-valued local observables. The localization process is effectuated in terms of topological covering systems on the events “continuum”, that do not presuppose an underlying structure of points on the real line, and moreover, respect only the fundamental relation of extension between events. In this sense, the physical “continuum” is represented by means of a fibered topos-theoretic structure, modeled as a sheaf of algebras of continuous real-valued functions. Finally, the dynamics of information propagation, formulated in terms of continuous real-valued observables, is described in the context of an appropriate sheaf-cohomological framework corresponding to the localization process.
