Spectral Presheaves, Kochen-Specker Contextuality, and Quantale-Valued Relations

In the topos approach to quantum theory of Doering and Isham the Kochen–Specker Theorem, which asserts the contextual nature of quantum theory, can be reformulated in terms of the global sections of a presheaf characterised by the Gelfand spectrum of a commutative C*-algebra. In previous work w...
