On the basis of physical principles having a very general nature, A. Landé [1] has demonstrated that the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics can be derived without having recourse to the introduction of special assumptions of an ad hoc type (such as commutation rules governing canonical observables) which are not immediately suggested by our knowledge of the physical world, but which have simply originated as rules which mathematical physicists have discovered by past experience to yield conclusions in conformity with experiment.
