Abstract
A classification of physical systems is presented, suggesting the adoption of the law that imposes a lower bound to the action, as a first principle for quantum theory. Many of the essential features of quantum theory can be traced back to that principle, but a systematic generation of the formalism remains to be found. In this approach, a formalism for quantum theory, characterized by a continuous transition to classical physics, allowing thereby an unambiguous interpretation, is sought.
