TY - JOUR A1 - Beim Graben, Peter A1 - Atmanspacher, Harald T1 - Complementarity in classical dynamical systems N2 - The concept of complementarity, originally defined for non-commuting observables of quantum systems with states of non-vanishing dispersion, is extended to classical dynamical systems with a partitioned phase space. Interpreting partitions in terms of ensembles of epistemic states (symbols) with corresponding classical observables, it is shown that such observables are complementary to each other with respect to particular partitions unless those partitions are generating. This explains why symbolic descriptions based on an ad hoc partition of an underlying phase space description should generally be expected to be incompatible. Related approaches with different background and different objectives are discussed Y1 - 2006 UR - http://www.springerlink.com/content/101591 U6 - https://doi.org/10.1007/s10701-005-9013-0 SN - 0015-9018 ER - TY - THES A1 - Atmanspacher, Harald T1 - Informationsdynamik : Grundlagen, Interpretation, Konsequenzen Y1 - 1994 ER -
