>Summary:
>
>The author presents a simple algebraic quantum language sharpening and
>deepening that of Bohr, Heisenberg, and von Neumann, with its own
>epistemology, modal structure, and connectives. The core of the language is
>the semigroup of physical actions. The work extends quantum algebra from
>first-order to higher-order propositions, classes and actions; from
positive
>to indefinite metrics; and from quantum systems to quantum sets, quantum
>semigroups, and quantum groups. The author applies the extended quantum
>theory to a spacetime structure, which was taken as a fixed part of the
>classical framework of the original quantum theory. This leads to a simple
>proposal connecting the internal variables of spin, color, and isospin with
>the fine structure of spacetime.
