Two main re pr ese ntation theorems for general contractions are given, one is base d on pa rtial m ee t models a nd th e other on ni ce-ord ered partition models. An additiona l principle, called Limit Postulate , for the general be li ef chang es is introduced which specifies prope rti es of infinite be li ef changes.
