Summary: We show that the set of projections in an operator
system can be detected using only abstract data. Specifically, we show that
if $p$ is a positive contraction in an operator system $\mathcal V$ which
satisfies certain order-theoretic conditions, then there exists a complete
order embedding of $\mathcal V$ into $B(H)$ mapping $p$ to a projection
operator.
We provide an abstract characterization for operator systems spanned by two
commuting families of projection-valued measures. This yields a new
characterization for quantum commuting correlations in terms of abstract
operator systems.
