Two important classes of quantum structures, namely orthomodular posets and orthomodular lattices, can be characterized in a classical context, using notions like partial information and points of view. Using the formalism of representation…
A partially ordered set P is representable if there is a bounded distributive lattice such that its ordered set of prime ideals is order-isomorphic to P. We show that if the order components of a poset P are representable, then so is P.…
A representation theorem relates different mathematical structures by providing an isomorphism between them: that is, a one-to-one correspondence preserving their original properties. Establishing that the two structures substantially…
An information-theoretic framework is introduced to analyze last-layer embedding, focusing on learned representations for regression tasks. We define representation-rate and derive limits on the reliability with which input-output…
This paper first gives a necessary and sufficient condition that a lattice $L$ can be represented as the collection of all up-sets of a poset. Applying the condition, it obtains a necessary and sufficient condition that a lattice can be…
We investigate the representation of lattices as sublattices of the lattice of all convex subsets (intervals) of a linearly ordered set $(X,\le)$. We introduce the purely lattice-theoretic notion of a \textit{loc-lattice} and prove that…
We consider complete lattices equipped with preorderings indexed by the ordinals less than a given (limit) ordinal subject to certain axioms. These structures, called stratified complete lattices, and weakly monotone functions over them,…
In this article we introduce theory and algorithms for learning discrete representations that take on a lattice that is embedded in an Euclidean space. Lattice representations possess an interesting combination of properties: a) they can be…
In this paper, we propose a set theoretic approach for knowledge representation. While the syntax of an application domain is captured by set theoretic constructs including individuals, concepts and operators, knowledge is formalized by…
Recursive reasoning systems alternate between acquiring new evidence and refining an accumulated understanding. Two design choices are typically left implicit: how to represent the evolving reasoning state, and when to stop iterating. This…
Birkhoff's representation theorem for finite distributive lattices states that any finite distributive lattice is isomorphic to the lattice of order ideals (lower sets) of the partial order of the join-irreducible elements of the lattice.…
We consider a model where an agent is must choose between alternatives that each provide only an imprecise description of the world (e.g. linguistic expressions). The set of alternatives is closed under logical conjunction and disjunction,…
In this work, we study the representation space of contextualized embeddings and gain insight into the hidden topology of large language models. We show there exists a network of latent states that summarize linguistic properties of…
Quantum logical axiomatic systems for quantum theory usually include a postulate that a lattice under consideration is orthomodular. We propose a derivation of orthomodularity from an information-theoretic axiom. This provides conceptual…
How can intelligent agents solve a diverse set of tasks in a data-efficient manner? The disentangled representation learning approach posits that such an agent would benefit from separating out (disentangling) the underlying structure of…
This paper applies Algorithmic Information Theory to simple examples of replication processes to illustrate how replicating structures can generate and maintain order in a non equilibrium system. Variation in replicating structures enhances…
In this note we revisit Lurie's representability theorem for geometric stacks and prove that one of the conditions can be mildly relaxed. The proof uses ideas from Hall--Rydh's work on the (classical) Artin's representability theorem. We…
Prior work has shown that coupling sequential latent variable models with semantic ontological knowledge can improve the representational capabilities of event modeling approaches. In this work, we present a novel, doubly hierarchical,…
We propose a model of unawareness that remains close to the paradigm of Aumann's model for knowledge [R. J. Aumann, International Journal of Game Theory 28 (1999) 263-300]: just as Aumann uses a correspondence on a state space to define an…
Most model-free reinforcement learning methods leverage state representations (embeddings) for generalization, but either ignore structure in the space of actions or assume the structure is provided a priori. We show how a policy can be…
