Abstract
We look at the action of the spin-1/2 operatorsof quantum mechanics on the state of an entity in aphysical way, and use this as a guideline to define theoperators of the intermediate situations of a general spin-1/2 measurement model called the∈-model. Then we test the possible linearity ofthe operators so constructed.
