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
In this paper a formulation of classical mechanics is given with the help of linear operators in HILBERT space, which is different from the formalism of v. NEUMANN and KOOPMAN, i.e. the observables are represented by selfadjoint operators instead of real functions. It is shown that classical mechani
