| 1 | In the papers [13,14,15] it was used the term “variable sets” instead of “changeable sets”. We do not use the term “variable sets”, because there is not unambiguous interpretation of the last term in the scientific literature. For example in the programming and data sciencies this term means “the group of related variables” (see [16,17], see also [18,19]). |

Recall [26] that the (non strict) linear order relation ≤ generates the strict order relation < on by the following rule:
holds if and only if and ().
|
| 4 | In some papers we use the notation instead of to distinguish the base of elementary processes from directing relation of changes, which sometimes is denoted by . (For elementary states we use the notation , or more briefly , if an only if there exist such that , and .) |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Here means the range of (arbitrary) mapping U. |
| 7 | Recall that the affine transformation over the linear space L is the mapping , acting by the formula (), where is some linear operator over L and is some (fixed) element of L. |
| 8 | Reference to Property 1(5) means reference to item 5 from the group of properties “Properties 1”. |
