Abstract

In this paper we show that, given a family of interacting systems, many notions which are important for expressing properties of systems can be modeled as sheaves over a suitable topological space. In such contexts, geometric logic can be used to test whether "local" properties can be lifted to a global level. We develop a way to use this method in the study of interacting systems, illustrated by examples.
