Standing in the record
Registered on 2026-09-29 at the owner’s request, because the owner’s prior-art novelty map (a private working document on concepts as projectors, the linear representation hypothesis and their neighbours) cites it: §0, row 1, R1 and must-cite list: the second quantum-cognition owner of concepts-in-Hilbert-space. It is seeded from metadata and published descriptions and has not been read here.
Identification notes: Date is the Crossref (online/CUP) publication date; print year 2012.
A close reading was attempted on 2026-09-29. No legitimate full text could be reached: Busemeyer & Bruza, Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision (CUP 2012, DOI 10.1017/CBO9780511997716), is a closed-access book. OpenAlex reports is_oa false, oa_status “closed”, no best_oa_location and no repository full text. The Cambridge Core book page (cambridge.org/core/books/quantum-models-of-cognition-and-decision/75909428F710F7C6AF7D580CB83443AC) loaded (HTTP 200) but offers no free chapter PDF links. I tried CUP’s own excerpt and front-matter PDFs on assets.cambridge.org for the 2012 first edition (ISBN 9781107011991, _excerpt.pdf and _frontmatter.pdf) and for the second edition’s excerpt (9781009205344_excerpt.pdf). Every request was reset by the connection through curl, and WebFetch got HTTP 503. Even if they had loaded, an excerpt is one chapter, not the full text, and the second-edition excerpt is a different edition from the one registered. A web search found only unauthorised third-party uploads (academia.edu, ResearchGate, scispace, and a Scribd copy labelled as a Libgen file), which the instructions exclude, and I did not open them. Busemeyer’s Indiana course slides (jbusemey.pages.iu.edu/Q550/Lect7.pdf) are the author’s lecture notes, not the book, and would not license a reading. arXiv 1206.6706 (“Joint probabilities and quantum cognition”) is a separate paper, not a chapter. No shadow library was used, and no email address was sent to any service. It stays Deferred until a copy is supplied, not on merit.
On 2026-10-09 the owner asked for it again, from the bibliography of the
manuscript what-survives-translation. A second attempt at a lawful full
text failed (see the history note), so it remains filed, not read. Two
papers by its first author are now read here: LIT-834 (the quantum
question-order model) and LIT-795 (its test on 72 surveys). Both cite
this book for the general framework and for proofs.
