Nonstandard Logics and Nonstandard Metrics in Physics is a 1995 book by William M Honig, published by World Scientific.
Overview
Honig introduces two new mathematical techniques — "nonstandard logics" and "nonstandard metrics" — and applies them to open problems in the foundations of physics, including the hidden-variable problem and questions of locality and nonlocality in quantum mechanics. The book aims to show how alternative logical and metrical structures can shed light on the interpretation of quantum theory.
