We discuss a possible kinematical and dynamical generalization of the latter by way of a quantum covariance of the state space. Specifically, we apply our scheme to the problem of a background independent formulation of Matrix Theory.9 pages, LaTeXHigh Energy Physics - TheoryGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyQuantum PhysicsBackground Independent Quantum Mechanics and Gravitytext
