Quantizing Geometry or Geometrizing the Quantum?

Abstract

The unsatisfactory status of the search for a consistent and predictive quantization of gravity is taken as motivation to study the question whether geometrical laws could be more fundamental than quantization procedures. In such an approach the quantum mechanical laws should emerge from the geometrical theory. A toy model that incorporates the idea is presented and its necessary formulation in configuration space is emphasized.
