Isn't this what Robert Rosen tried to do? Granted his work is woefully incomplete; but do you see some fundamental flaw in his work that prevents it from providing (at least the foundations for) the formalization you're looking for? - -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-219-3846, http://tempusdictum.com The fear of death follows from the fear of life.
