Abstract

We enlarge the hom-sets of categories of complete lattices by introducing 'statetransitions' as generalized morphisms. The obtained category is then comparedwith a functorial quantaloidal enrichment and a contextual quantaloidalenrichment that uses a specific concretization in the category of sets and partiallydefined maps (Parset).
