I am going through the Hyperledger documentation on architecture. I am not able to follow some of the symbols and text. For example,
Both V and N contain a special element \bot,
What does \bot mean?
for k\in K and v\in V,
What do k\ and \v mean?

Note that the architecture section on the Hyperledger documentation is highly mathematical. Some of the symbols (or intended symbols) may have come from another source and are not properly rendered in the document.
The \bot symbol in LaTeX represents the empty type or falsum: ⊥. In the particular case of the state mapping K -> (V X N), the author is just trying to explain that all values and versions are empty when a key is initialized.
The \in symbol represents the relation "is a member of": k ∈ K and v ∈ V.
