Linear representations of probabilistic transformations induced by context transitions
Abstract
By using straightforward frequency arguments we classify transformations of probabilities which can be generated by transition from one preparation procedure (context) to another. There are three classes of transformations corresponding to statistical deviations of different magnitudes: (a) trigonometric; (b) hyperbolic; (c) hyper-trigonometric. It is shown that not only quantum preparation procedures can have trigonometric probabilistic behaviour. We propose generalizations of {\bf C}-linear space probabilistic calculus to describe non quantum (trigonometric and hyperbolic) probabilistic transformations. We also analyse superposition principle in this framework.
