Abstract
A geometrical model for the process of field quantization is proposed, within the context of the unified theory of connections and frames, introduced in previous publications. A physical geometry produced by matter determines locally a canonical bracket operation for generalized Jacobi vector fields and provides a geometrical model for the existence of fermionic and bosonic operator fields and their rules of quantization.
