Abstract: The classical phase of the matrix model of 11-dimensional M-theory is complex, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. As a complex manifold, the latter admits a continuum of nonequivalent, complex-differentiable structures that can be placed in 1-to-1 correspondence with families of coherent states in the Hilbert space of quantum states. The moduli space of nonbiholomorphic complex structures on classical phase space turns out to be an infinite-dimensional symmetric space. We argue that each choice of a complex differentiable structure gives rise to a physically different notion of an elementary quantum.
