The '''SCOP formalism''' or '''State Context Property formalism''' is an abstract mathematical [[Formalism (philosophy of mathematics)|formalism]] for describing states of a system that generalizes both quantum and classical descriptions. The formalism describes [[wikt:entity|entities]], which may exist in different states, which in turn have various properties.<ref name="Aerts1983"/> In addition there is a set of "contexts" (corresponding to measurements) by which an entity may be observed. The formalism has primarily found use outside of physics as a theory of concepts, in particular in the field of [[quantum cognition]], which develops quantum-like models of cognitive phenomena (such as the [[conjunction fallacy]]) that may seem paradoxical or(contracted; show full)
