Soft inductive limits of operator systems and a noncommutative Lazar-Lindenstrauss theorem

We establish a flexible generalization of inductive systems of operator systems, which relaxes the usual transitivity (or coherence) condition to an asymptotic version thereof and allows for systems indexed over arbitrary nets. To illustrate the utility of this generalization, we highlight how such systems arise naturally from completely positive approximations of nuclear operator systems. Going further, we utilize an argument of Ding and Peterson to show that a separable operator system is nuclear if and only if it is an inductive limit of matrix algebras, generalizing a classic Theorem of Lazar and Lindenstrauss to the setting of noncommutative Choquet theory.
