Abstract
We choose the framework of a probabilistic interpretation of the states of a physical system: a state α is a probability measure on the set ℒ of propositions (classes of equivalent yes-no experiments) whose minimal structure is that of orthoposet containing the union of disjoint elements. We denote by S the set of the states. Let a ∈ ℒ, α ∈ J; then α: ℒ → [0, 1], and α(a) is physically interpreted as the probability of the yes response of a when the initial state of the system is α.
