Abstract
An algebraic view allows one to compute properties of physical states without having to introduce an explicit Hilbert space. In relational systems without absolute time, a state cannot be completely positive once a choice for a (possibly local) internal time has been made. A more general class of `almost-positive' states is introduced in this talk, together with a discussion of their constrained dynamics.
