Very briefly on the new axiomatics of co∼events [1], it is intended for rigorous mathematical description
of an entanglement between observer and observation. Here we try to consider the new axiomatics in the
normally human non-mathematical language, although it uses a new but quite natural terminology: “a
Abstract: co∼event occurs (as an entanglement of observer and observation), a ket-event happens (as chance of
observation), a bra-event is experienced (as an experience of observer)”. And finally, it seems to me that
the new theory in a not very rigorous mathematical language is most conveniently set out in the form
of questions and answers that my students, graduate students, and colleagues often asked me during
numerous internal and external discussions.

1 Examples and brief discussion
The expression “A choosing (by the 15 foresters) the trees for felling (from the 387 trees)” describes
a result of “15 foresters × 387 trees” experienced-random experiment in which each forester (from 15)
independently chooses the trees for felling from the 387 trees (putting a label on each tree chosen by
her/him for felling).
What objections and questions can arise to this description?
Objections and questions Answers
Definitely! “A choosing (by foresters) the trees
1 for felling” is not an event (in Kolmogorov sense)
For some taste this is not an event (in the classical because it is co∼event (in the new theory sense)

No, it’s not! An event ”A randomly chosen expert

2 Very briefly on the new axiomatics of co∼events which describes an
entanglement between observer and observation
The lines below describes the new axiomatics of co∼events [1] in the normally human non-mathematical
language, although it uses a new but quite natural terminology: “a co∼event occurs (as an entanglement
of observer and observation), a ket-event happens (as chance of observation), a bra-event is experienced
(as an experience of observer)”. (see Fig. 11 )
2.1 Ket-event (a chance of observation)
An observation chance is described by a ket-event from |Ω⟩ (an event in Kolmogorov sense).
Each ket-event can or cannot happen. A ket-event happens if there is an only elementary ket-event
belonged to it that happens. And a ket-event doesn’t happen if there isn’t any elementary ket-event
belonged to it that happens.
2.2 Bra-event (an experience of observer)
An observer experience is described by bra-events from ⟨Ω| (in the new axiomatics sense).
Each bra-event can or cannot be experienced. A bra-event is experienced if all elementary bra-events
belonged to it are experienced. And a bra-event doesn’t happen if there is an elementary bra-event
belonged to it that doesn’t happen.
