- Abstract: Topos formalism for quantum mechanics is interpreted in a broader,
information retrieval perspective. Contexts, its basic components, are treated
as sources of information. Their interplay, called daseinisation, defined in
purely logical terms, is reformulated in terms of two relations: exclusion and
preclusion of queries. Then, broadening these options, daseinisation becomes a
characteristic of proximity of contexts; to quantify it numerically, Shannon
entropy is used.

This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization.
We propose a representation learning method that induces disentanglement by simultaneously learning the latent factors.
We show that the latent factors can be recovered by regularizing the learned causal graph to be sparse.

We establish relationships between logical definitions and quantitative metrics to derive theoretically grounded disentanglement metrics.
We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed metrics by isolating different aspects of disentangled representations.

We present an extension of first-order logic to support such abstractions, and show that it allows writing expressions of knowledge that are elaboration tolerant.
