Abstract:To our knowledge, all applications of the quantum framework in social sciences are used to model measurements done on a discrete nominal scale. However, especially in cognition, experiments often produce data on an ordinal scale, which implies some internal structure between the possible outcomes. Since there are no ordinal scales in physics, orthodox projection-valued measurement (PVM) lacks the tools and methods to deal with these ordinal scales. Here, we sketch out an attempt to incorporate the ordinal stru… Show more
