So, when you project the global quantum state on the subspace spanned

I don't understand "subspace spanned by b" where b is a bitstring?
Does it mean the subspace for which b is true...when b is interpreted
in some way in terms of the variables in the Hamiltonian?
I didn't write the above, that was smitra.
But as he tells it, his position bears scant resemblance to quantum
mechanics -- he has taken over a few common quantum phrases and welded
them on to his own pet theory. That theory might come from
computationalism, but it actually bears more resemblance to Russell's
'plenum' from the theory of nothing, where the plenum is the union of
all possible bit strings of any length. I seriously doubt whether
standard QM can ever be recovered from such a theory. I have an idea for
an outline of a proof of that contention, which I may get around to
writing up sooner or later......
