  In multi-agent systems, agents observe data, and use them to make inferences
and take actions. As a result sensing and control naturally interfere, more so
from a real-time perspective. A natural consequence is that in multi-agent
systems there are propositions based on the set of observed events that might
not be simultaneously verifiable, which leads to the need for probability
structures that allow such \textit{incompatible events}. We revisit the
structure of events in a multi-agent system and we introduce the necessary new
models that incorporate such incompatible events in the formalism. These models
are essential for building non-commutative probability models, which are
different than the classical models based on the Kolmogorov construction. From
this perspective, we revisit the concepts of \textit{event-state-operation
structure} and the needed \textit{relationship of incompatibility} from the
literature and use them as a tool to study the needed new algebraic structure
of the set of events. We present an example from multi-agent hypothesis testing
where the set of events does not form a Boolean algebra, but forms an
ortholattice. A possible construction of a `noncommutative probability space',
accounting for \textit{incompatible events} is discussed. We formulate and
solve the binary hypothesis testing problem in the noncommutative probability
space. We illustrate the occurrence of `order effects' in the multi-agent
hypothesis testing problem by computing the minimum probability of error that
can be achieved with different orders of measurements.
