Scientific paper

We review an attempt to set a suitable foundational principle for consistent quantization of gravity based on the canonical formulation. It requires extending the spacetime description of the relativistic postulates to also encompass an alternative formulation in momentum-energy continuum where the inertial physical laws can be equivalently described. The extension to noninertial frames breaks such an equivalence, leaving a new dynamical field which, together with gravity, allows to construct a canonical scenario where the Dirac's quantization method leads to consistent definitions of hermitian ordering for the operators of the canonical quantum theory.
