Abstract

In this note we contribute to the recently developing study of "almost Boolean" quantum logics (i.e. to the study of orthomodular partially ordered sets that are naturally endowed with a symmetric difference). We call them enriched quantum logics (EQLs). We first consider set-representable EQLs. We disprove a natural conjecture on compatibility in EQLs. Then we discuss the possibility of extending states and prove an extension result for \Ztwo\Ztwo-states on EQLs. In the second part we pass to general orthoposets with a symmetric difference (GEQLs). We show that a simplex can be a state space of a GEQL that has an arbitrarily high degree of noncompatibility. Finally, we find an appropriate definition of a "parametrization" as a mapping between GEQLs that preserves the set-representation.
