AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE STATE AXIOMS,
Abstract
This report considers Zadeh's axiomatic formulation of the notion of state descriptions. It shows that, in addition to admitting system descriptions which would pass as state descriptions in the ordinary senses of the word, that definition also admits an extremely degenerate state description for any system. After discussing a number of the axioms' flaws, which are manifested by this degenerate description, a modification in the definition is proposed and defended. (Author)
