Ambiguous language

In the section titled Algebra, we find the following: "A physical system is described by its static constitution, dynamics and expectation function. These three ... may be used to calculate the outcome of particular experiments or computations." This language can at least be interpreted as implying the experiments and computations are the same thing. Is that intended? Greg Woodhouse 10:26, 30 May 2007 (CDT)
