Yes. The hypostases, with p restrict to the Sigma-1 sentences (the
UD) given by
Bp & p (the knower certainty)
Bp & Dp (the observer certainty)
Bp & Dp & p (the "feeler" certainty), with B the Godel Beweisbar
predicate, and Da = ~B~a.
gives rise to Brouwersche like modal logics with natural quantization
(BDp) which act like quantum projector, except that I loose the
Brouwersche necessitation rule, which formally makes things more
complex, more rich also.

Very nice text. I agree, but it is a difficult matter. You can extract
the quantum of 1 bit, but the quibit needs a good tensor product,
which is not easy to derive (unless in ad hoc way) from quantum logic.
With comp, I think we will need the first order extension of the
"hypostases", and it could be that special feature of computability
theory will need to be discovered to complete the derivation. In my
1991 paper I sum by saying that comp is in search of its Gleason
theorem". A lot of work remains, of course.

I have the formal systems. In a sense, nothing is missing. Except
enough competent and interested people in those weird self-referential
logics. It is a sequence of open math problems. It is normal. When the
research is driven by high level question, you don't choose the
mathematical objects you have to handle. You discover them.
I could later give more explanation, but here we are at the end of the
AUDA (!). It would be too much technical right now.
you can take a look at Goldblatt 1974, one or the clearest paper on
the Brouwersche Modal "quantum" logic.
Best,
Bruno
