Abstract

The premise of this note is the following observation: the formalism of Bohrification is a natural place for the interpretation of general non-signalling theories. We demonstrate it through an analysis of so-called box-worlds, a popular framework for the discussion of systems exhibiting super-quantum correlations. In particular, we show that non-signalling box-world states are precisely the internal probability valuations on an internal frame in a Kripke topos naturally associated with a given box world.
