Abstract. The following results obtained within a project of finding algebra of states in a general purpose quantum computer are reported: 1. all operations of an orthomodular lattice, including the identity, are five-fold defined; 2. there are non-orthomodular models for both quantum and classical logics; 3. there is a 4-variable orthoarguesian lattice condition which contains all known orthoarguesian lattice conditions including 6- and 5-variable ones.
