4. Additional Remarks
We saw that quantum description is understandable as an approximation of the subquantum one.
Subquantum states of the system do not distinguish subquantum variables that coincide
modulo the elements from the commutant
of .
In other words, the description of the physical system in terms of subquantum space
can be understood as another aproximation of the complete description, obtained by
ignoring all complementarity phenomenas.
This is because complementarity (at the subquantum level)
is based on non-commutativity
of
.
And ignoring complementarity we arrive to a classical type theory based on
a commutative C*-algebra
All phenomenas related to causality are expressible in terms of
.
Nevertheless, the complete description is given by a non-commutative algebra
not less non-commutative than the quantum one.
One of the principal questions a coherent subquantum theory must answer is how
dynamics looks like. There exists an interesting class of subquantum theories [D4] where the
subquantum space
is equiped with a symplectic manifold structure, such that
the quantum evolution can be obtained from one-parametric flow generated by a smooth
function on
,
playing the role of the subquantum hamiltonian.
In this sense, Shrodinger equation can be viewed as a statistical version of classical
Hamiltonian equations.
The algebra
of quantum observables does not admit dispersion-free states
(characters). This is a purely algebraic
formulation of the mentioned no-go theorems, and can be viewed as a
consequence of uncertainty relations.
It is important to mention that C*-algebraic extensions considered here
are also very interesting from the point of view of
non-commutative geometry [C].
At first, there exist powerful techniques [BDF] to apply
C*-algebraic extensions (of the types similar
to our subquantum extensions)
to study topological properties of
classical topological spaces
. Secondly,
noncommutative C*-algebras give us
examples of quantum spaces--the main objects of study of non-commutative
geometry. Let us observe that, from the non-commutative geometric viewpoint,
subquantum states (as characters)
play the role of points of the quantum space associated to the algebra
.
