| A1 | Concepts are not represented by a set of instances. Instead, a concept is assumed to exist in a state. A Hilbert space is introduced, and a unit vector |ψ〉 ∈ represents the state of the concept. |
| A2 | Semantic estimations are not functions over the set of instances. Instead, a semantic estimation is a measurement operator, M : →, that projects onto a subspace of . |
