Abstract

The full anhomomorphic logic of coevents \ascript\ascript ^* is introduced. Atoms of \ascript\ascript ^* and embeddings of the event set \ascript\ascript into \ascript\ascript ^* are discussed. The quantum integral over an event AA with respect to a coevent ϕ\phi is defined and its properties are treated. Integrals with respect to various coevents are computed. Reality filters such as preclusivity and regularity of coevents are considered. A quantum measure μ\mu that can be represented as a quantum integral with respect to a coevent ϕ\phi is said to 1-generate ϕ\phi. This gives a stronger reality filter that may produce a unique coevent called the ``actual reality'' for a physical system. What we believe to be a more general filter is defined in terms of a double quantum integral and is called 2-generation. It is shown that ordinary measures do not 1 or 2-generate coevents except in a few simple cases. Examples are given which show that there are quantum measures that 2-generate but do not 1-generate coevents. Examples also show that there are coevents that are 2-generated but not 1-generated. For simplicity only finite systems are considered.
