The covering property in a causal logic

  • 448 Accesses

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1396)

Abstract

We construct a complete orthomodular lattice with an orthogonality relation generated by a causal structure on Minkowski space-time. The properties of this lattice are examined and it is shown that the covering law is not satisfied.
