Is the ortho-complement of a proposition, in quantum logic/probability or hilbert space, the logical comple-ment of a proposition
such as 'spin up at direction x and 'spin down in direction y'
(mutually exhaustive, on the) same prepared spin system at the as same angle, ie on the same basis) and thus one can add them the probabilities to one, as in the usual probabilistic sense to .when the hilbert space inner product is zero (or rather one or zero, the kronecker delta).
Or is this a geometric notion that that allows one to add probabilities of events together that lie on distinct bases (bases/vectors on distinct angles of the same prepared spin system). Which is stronger (closer to a restricted form of cauchy additivity)
the on the very same vector in an orth-onormal basis; the very same basis.
, in the sense that they are disjoint A\cap B emptyset , and mutually exclusive. Or is its geometric, and relates to some kind of relation between events on distinct bases of a spin system.
When one speaks of an orthonormal bases or vectors that are mutually orthogonal , and are unit vectors that are mutually orthogonal, is this where ||u||=sqrt(x^2+y^2)=1 and ||v|=sqrt(x_i^2+y_i2)=1
u.v=x_2.v_2+ y_2.y_2=0;
does this denote, complementarity/non commutting, geometric orthonality, or logical orthogonality, that is events are disjoints in the logical sense (lie in the same basis or a commutting bases, and can be added) or are on distinct bases..
In other words
Is is there of way of using the inner product to determine whether the events are lie on non commutting and cannot be explicitely assume to add. I presume that the hilbert space inner product denoted logical orthogonality
x is amplitude moduli of spin up in direction of the vector u, with probability ||x||^2, and
y is the same but for spin down down in the same direction vector u with probability ||y||2
and x_i, y_i are the corresponding amplitude,moduli of spin up and spin down for the direction of the vector v,and probabilities,
||x_i||^2
||y_i||^2.
