Abstract

In this chapter we will introduce the notions of antonymous and observable functions put forward in [18]. These are utilised to express the physical quantise \(\breve {\delta }(\hat {A})\) corresponding to the self-adjoint operators \(\hat {A}\) in a more efficient way, which does not relay on calculating the approximations of \(\breve {\delta }(\hat {A})\) for each context \(V\in \mathcal {V}\) as it was done in [26].

Notes

  1. 1.

    Here \(\mathcal {N}_{sa}\) denotes the set of all self-adjoint operators in \(\mathcal {N}\).

  2. 2.

    Here \(C(\mathcal {N})\) indicates the category of abelian von Neumann subalgebras of \(\mathcal {N}\).
