Koopman-von-Neumann Mechanics
Intuitive
Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.
Concrete
The equation of motion in Koopmann-von-Neumann mechanics is a complexified reformulation of the classical Liouville equation (which handles probability distributions over the phase space).

Abstract
The motto in this section is: the higher the level of abstraction, the better.
