Abstract

An abstract investigation about quantum histories naturally meets ideas that have been developed in the framework of dynamic logic [5], where possible relations between truths and actions are studied. The aim of this paper is to investigate a general semantic framework that admits of a number of possible applications. A particular case will be represented by quantum histories ([6], [4]).
