Abstract

We investigate measures on sequential orthomodular posets with values in a vector space or a (not necessarily commutative) algebra with reasonable sequential topologies, using a universal property. Unfortunately, the universal measure and the universal multiplicative measure need not coincide any more as in the commutative situation. This may have applications in quantum physics.
