Abstract
We show that Mumford's Approximately Macroscopically Unique (AMU) states exist for quantum systems consisting of unbounded self-adjoint operators when the commutators are small. In particular, AMU states always exist in position and momentum systems when the Planck constant is sufficiently small. However, we show that these standard quantum mechanical systems are far away from classical mechanical (commutative) systems even when
