Abstract
This work is primarily concerned with finding those statements or observations from which quantum mechanics can reasonably be said to follow. Within the context of characterizing quantum mechanics as any probability field (with bounded probability density) whose associated stochastic velocity field is governed by a differential equation of first order in time, it is shown that the single statement required is the stipulation that the superposition principle is satisfied. This is demonstrated by showing that only the Schrodinger equation is an acceptable dynamic description for such probability fields if the superposition principle is to hold.
