Holistic methods in quantum logic

The Hilbert space of quantum mechanics and the Minkowski space of relativity are examples of two spaces that figure in many physical theories, and whose interrelation is discussed. The author calls them the truth space and time spaces respectively, in general, whatever their representation. In canonical quantization a time space is taken as basic and the truth space is a higher level construction. The author shows how a Hilbert space can be constructed from a transfer relation. The main tool for this construction is the Galois connection which constructs the lattice of predicates from the transfer relation between unit (= atomic) predicates. (Auth.)
