Abstract:
We define a category with as objects operational resolutions and with as morphisms--- not necessarily deterministic--- state transitions. We study connections with closure spaces and join-complete lattices and sketch physical applications related to evolution and compoundness. An appendix with preliminaries on quantaloids is included. Key words: state and property transitions, closure space, complete lattice, quantales and quantaloids. 1.
