| contents | In this report, we introduce observation algebras, constructed by considering the downclosed subsets of a coherence space ordered by reverse inclusion. These may be interpreted as specifications of sets of events via some predicates with some extra structure. We provide syntax for these algebras, as well as axiomatisations. We establish completeness of these axiomatisations in two cases: when the syntax is that of bounded distributive lattices (conjunction, disjunction, top, and bottom), and when the syntax also includes an implication operator (in the sense of Heyting algebra), but the underlying coherence space satisfies some tractability condition. We also provide a product construction to combine graphs and their axiomatisations, yielding a sound and complete composite system. This development has been fully formalised in Rocq. |
