Elemental principles of t-topos

In this paper, a sheaf-theoretic approach toward fundamental problems in quantum physics is made. For example, the particle-wave duality depends upon whether or not a presheaf is evaluated at a specified object. The t-topos theoretic interpretations of double-slit interference, uncertainty principle(s), and the EPR-type non-locality are given. As will be explained, there are more than one type of uncertainty principle: the absolute uncertainty principle coming from the direct limit object corresponding to the refinements of coverings, the uncertainty coming from a micromorphism of shortest observable states, and the uncertainty of the observation image. A sheaf theoretic approach for quantum gravity has been made by Isham-Butterfield in (Found. Phys. 30 (2000) 1707), and by Raptis based on abstract differential geometry in Mallios A. and Raptis I. Int. J. Theor. Phys. 41 (2002), qr-qc/0110033; Mallios A. Remarks on "singularities" (2002) qr-qc/0202028; Mallios A. and Raptis I. Int. J. Theor. Phys. 42 (2003) 1479, qr-qc/0209048. See also the preprint The translocal depth-structure of space-time, Connes' "Points, Speaking to Each Other", and the (complex) structure of quantum theory, for another approach relevant to ours. Special axioms of t-topos formulation are: i) the usual linear-time concept is interpreted as the image of the presheaf (associated with time) evaluated at an object of a t-site (i.e., a category with a Grothendieck topology). And an object of this t-site, which is said to be a generalized time period, may be regarded as a hidden variable and ii) every object (in a particle ur-state) of microcosm (or of macrocosm) is regarded as the microcosm (or macrocosm) component of a product category for a presheaf evaluated at an object in the t-site. The fundamental category Ŝ is defined as the category of ∏_{α ∊ Δ} C_α-valued presheaves on the t-site S, where Δ is an index set. The study of topological properties of S with respect to the nature of multi-valued presheaves is left for future study on the t-topos version of relativity (see , On t.g. Principles of relativistic t-topos, in preparation; Guts A. K. and Grinkevich E. B. Toposes in General Theory of Relativity (1996), arXiv:gr-qc/9610073, 31). We let C₁ and C₂ be microcosm and macrocosm discrete categories, respectively, in what will follow. For further development see also Kato G.
