Non-classical Measurement Theory: a Framework for Behavioral Sciences

Abstract

Les exemples de phénomènes non-commutatifs abondent dans les comportements humains. Dans cet article nous suggérons que le formalisme mathématique de la mécanique quantique offre un cadre approprié pour modéliser des propriétés psychologiques telles que les attitudes, les préférences ou les croyances. Nous exposons les fondements de la théorie non-classique de la mesure à partir d'une notion simple d'ortho-espace et ortho-treillis (logique). Deux axiomes sont formulés et nous établissons la dualité état-propriété. Un dernier axiome s'appliquant à l'impact de la mesure sur l'état, nous entraîne d'un bond vers le modèle hilbertien de la physique quantique. Une application aux sciences du comportement est proposée. Nous commençons par suggérer une interprétation des axiomes et propriétés pour les comportements humains. Puis nous explorons une application en théorie de la décision dans un exemple de renversement des préférences. Nous concluons en formulant les ingrédients de base d'une théorie des préférences actualisées fondée dans la théorie non-classique de la mesure.

Instances of non-commutativity are pervasive in human behavior. In this paper, we suggest that psychological properties such as attitudes, values, preferences and beliefs may be suitably described in terms of the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics. We expose the foundations of non-classical measurement theory building on a simple notion of orthospace and ortholattice (logic). Two axioms are formulated and the characteristic state-property duality is derived. A last axiom concerned with the impact of measurements on the state takes us with a leap toward the Hilbert space model of Quantum Mechanics. An application to behavioral sciences is proposed. First, we suggest an interpretation of the axioms and basic properties for human behavior. Then we explore an application to decision theory in an example of preference reversal. We conclude by formulating basic ingredients of a theory of actualized preferences based in non-classical measurement theory.
