Abstract
The evolution of the system is described as a stochastic process in the space of random joint events, in which both a symmetric difference and a symmetric sum of events are introduced. The probability of a system transition between states is represented by a series of double, triple, etc., integrals of real functionals of joint event trajectories. The expression coincides with the transition probability in quantum theory if only pairwise joint random trajectories are taken into account in the model.
