Tim gives some interesting references. A formidable paper on discretization
is "Foundations of Discrete Physics (Working Document January 1999)",
by Kauffman. Click on Discrete at
http://www.math.uic.edu/~kauffman/ANPA-98.ps

Thanks for the suggestion. My "stucking" is more psychological and linked
to "things of life sort of things". I don't want bore you with that. I'am just
asking some patience and indulgence for my slowness ....

OK. Nice choice. The last two are rather technical, reading will not be enough!
Don't forget to look at Ziegler web page for a nice summary of Quantum Logic.
Also Ziegler makes the link with quantum probability. Not all quantum Logician
are aware of the importance of linking logic and probability.
Ziegler = http://lagrange.uni-paderborn.de/~ziegler/qlogic.html
Miklos Redei makes the link with probability also. And also with Stalnaker
Lewis approach to counterfactuals (like Joyce).
