 However the quantum potential is actually implicit in the anticommutator.

 a new quality of energy

 Notice then to construct our phase space we must abandon the insistence that only the eigenvalues of operators have physical meaning.

 In quantum mechanics, on the other hand the algebra of dynamical operators, which carry the symplectic symmetry, is non-commutative.

 In this view the non-commutative algebra is the implicate order.

 We see the quantum potential energy is an internal
energy. Thus we can now see exactly why this potential energy is totally different
from a classical potential and why it has no external source.
