Abstract

We investigate in which way the Hilbert space automorphisms can be implemented on the level of Aerts' hidden measurement representations for measurements on physical entities. Inspired by this, we propose a definition for a 'decomposition in context-dependent components' in order to push the property structure of a physical entity on the level of the hidden measurements. We apply this definition within the framework of quantum mechanics and we prove the existence of such a decomposition.
