Abstract
A underlying dynamical structure for bothrelativity and quantum theory —“superrelativity” — has been proposedin order to overcome the well-known incompatibilitybetween these theories. The relationship between curvature of spacetime (gravity) andcurvature of the projective Hilbert space of purequantum states is established as well.
