   Format: MarkdownItexI have expanded the Idea section at _[[state on a star-algebra]]_ and added a bunch of references. The entry used to be called "state on an operator algebra", but I renamed it (keeping the redirect) because part of the whole point of the definition is that it makes sense without necessarily having represented the "abstract" star-algebra as a C*-algebra of linear operators.

   Format: MarkdownItexStarted an Examples-section ([here](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/state+on+a+star-algebra#Examples)) with making explicit the two archetypical examples (classical probability measure as state on measurable functions and element on Hilbert space as state on bounded operators).
