Abstract

We introduce the notion of operational resolution, i.e., an isotone map from a powerset to a poset that meets two additional conditions, which generalizes the description of states as the atoms in a property lattice (Piron, 1976 and Aerts, 1982) or as the underlying set of a closure operator (Aerts, 1994 and Moore, 1995). We study the structure preservance of the related state transitions and show how the operational resolution constitutes an epimorphism between two unitary quantales.
