Abstract

Quantum theory’s Hilbert space apparatus in its
finite-dimensional version is nearly reconstructed
from four simple and quantum-mechanically
motivated postulates for a quantum logic. The reconstruction
process is not complete, since it excludes
the two-dimensional Hilbert space and still includes
the exceptional Jordan algebras, which are not part of
the Hilbert space apparatus. Options for physically
meaningful potential generalizations of the apparatus
are discussed.
