Peer-reviewed physics-foundations venue; the formal framework MPI now sits inside.
The generalization deliberately drops the quantitative machinery (Hilbert space, Planck's constant) that gives ordinary quantum theory its predictive force.

what the source states: The paper axiomatizes a "weak" quantum theory retaining complementarity and entanglement for arbitrary systems while dropping Hilbert-space structure and Planck's constant, explicitly anticipating macroscopic, non-physical applications.
what we infer: The formalism is real and published where physicists could object to it. What it purchases in generality it pays for in predictive force: without quantified probabilities, GQT cannot say how big a matrix surplus should be — only that unexploitable correlations may exist.
limitations: Framework, not evidence: no empirical result in this record bears on whether psychophysical entanglement exists.
