Partition logics of automata

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We introduce a new type of orthomodular poset which is obtained by considering the pasting of partitions of a set. These partition logics appear in the experimental investigation of finite automata and can be related to certain quantum-mechanical systems.
