We generalize classical statistical mechanics to describe the kynematics and the dynamics of systems whose variables are constrained by a single quantum postulate (discreteness of the spectrum of values of at least one variable of the theory). This is possible provided we adopt Feynman's suggestion
A formal but not conventional equivalence between stochastic processes in nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics and Schriidinger dynamics in quantum mechanics is shown. It is found, for each stochastic process described by a stochastic differential equation of Ito type, there exists a Schrodinge
