\begin{definition}[Matrix Order]
\label{definition:matrix-order}
Let $S$ be a complex vector space equipped with a \hyperref[complex conjugation]{definition:complex-conjugation} $*: S \to S$, then $S$ is \textbf{matrix ordered} if:
\begin{enumerate}
\item For each $n \in \natp$, $M_n(S)_{sa}$ is equipped with a vector space ordering.
\item For each $m, n \in \natp$, $A \in M_{n \times m}(\complex)$, and $x \in M_n(S)_{sa}$ with $x \ge 0$, $A^*xA \ge 0$ in $M_m(S)$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Matrix Order Unit]
\label{definition:matrix-order-unit}
Let $S$ be a matrix ordered space and $e \in S$, then $e$ is a \textbf{matrix order unit} if $I_n \otimes e \in M_n(S)$ is an order unit for all $n \in \natp$.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Extended Map]
\label{definition:abstract-induced-matrix-map}
Let $S$, $T$ be complex vector spaces, $\phi: S \to T$, and $n \in \natp$, then $\phi_n := \text{Id} \otimes \phi: M_n(S) \to M_n(T)$ is the \textbf{extended map} of $\phi$ to $M_n(S)$.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Abstract Operator System]
\label{definition:a-operator-system}
Let $S$ be a matrix ordered space, then $S$ is an \textbf{abstract operator system} if $M_n(S)$ is Archimedean for all $n \in \nat$, and $S$ admits a matrix order unit.
\end{definition}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:matrix-order-linear-functional}
Let $S$ be a matrix ordered space, then the mapping
\[
\text{hom}(S; M_n(\complex)) \to \text{hom}(M_n(S); \complex) \quad \angles{E_{ij} \otimes a, \phi}_{M_n(S)} = \phi(a)_{ij}
\]
induces an isomorphism $\text{hom}(M_n(S); \complex) \iso \text{hom}(S; M_n(\complex))$.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:matrix-order-positive-characterisation}
Let $S$ be a matrix ordered space, $\phi \in \text{hom}(S; M_n(\complex))$ and $s \in \text{hom}(M_n(S); \complex)$, and
\[
s: M_n(S) \to \complex \quad E_{ij} \otimes a \mapsto \phi(a)_{ij}
\]
then the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $s$ is a positive linear functional.
\item $\phi$ is $n$-positive.
\item $\phi$ is completely positive.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}[Proof, {{\cite[Proposition 13.2]{Paulsen}}}. ]
(1) $\Rightarrow$ (3): Let $\xi = (\xi_1, \cdots, \xi_n) \in \complex^n$, $\eta \in (\eta_1, \cdots, \eta_n) \in \complex^n$, and $x \in S$, then
\[
\dpn{\phi(x)\xi, \eta}{\complex^n} = \sum_{i, j = 1}^n \phi(x)_{ij}\xi_j \ol {\eta_i} = s({\eta^* x\xi})
\]
Let $m \in \natp$, $\xi = (\xi_1, \cdots, \xi_m) \in \complex^m \otimes \complex^n$, and $A = \sum_{i, j = 1}^m E_{ij} \otimes a_{ij} \in M_n(S)$ with $a \ge 0$, then
\begin{align*}
\dpn{\phi_n(A)\xi, \xi}{\complex^m \otimes \complex^n} &= \sum_{i, j = 1}^m \dpn{\phi(a_{ij})\xi_j, \xi_i}{\complex^n} = \sum_{i, j = 1}^m s(\xi_i^*a_{ij}\xi_j) \\
&= s\braks{\begin{bmatrix}
\xi_1 \\
\vdots \\
\xi_n
\end{bmatrix}^*A\begin{bmatrix}
\xi_1 \\
\vdots \\
\xi_n
\end{bmatrix}} \ge 0
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
