Hello,

I am trying to understand Chu Spaces - I am not a mathematician.  i cannot get past the first three element Chu Space.  I cannot see how the elements a, b, c  are uniquely mapped to the three row binary/eight column matrix provided.  I would think there would be other colorings possible.  Any insight you can provide would be helpful.  Thank you!

Hi! For the poset example, I'm using Chu spaces with only 2 colors. I'm also not thinking of the rows or columns of a Chu space as having an ordering (they're sets), you can rearrange them as you please and have a Chu space representing the same structure. I would suggest reading through to the ## There and Back Again section and in particular while trying to understand how the other poset examples work, and see if that helps the idea click. And/or you can suggest another coloring you think should be possible, and I can tell you what it represents.
