    "abstract": "We generalize classical statistical mechanics to describe the kinematics and\nthe dynamics of systems whose variables are constrained by a single quantum\npostulate (discreteness of the spectrum of values of at least one variable of\nthe theory). This is possible provided we adopt Feynman\u0027s suggestion of\ndropping the assumption that the probability for an event must always be a\npositive number. This approach has the advantage of allowing a reformulation of\nquantum theory in phase space without introducing the unphysical concept of\nprobability amplitudes, together with all the problems concerning their\nambiguous properties.",
