The decomposition into interaction subspaces is an important result for graphical models and plays a central role for results on the linearized marginal problem; similarly the Chaos decomposition plays an important role in statistical physics at the thermodynamic limit and in probability theory in general. We unify and extend both constructions by defining and characterizing decomposable functors from a well-founded poset to the category of Hilbert spaces, completing previous work on decomposable collections of vector subspaces and presheaves.
