+# The Cluster's Poisson Bracket
+
+A page about Poisson brackets in the cluster — the mathematical structure underlying classical dynamics.
+
+## The Poisson bracket
+
+The Poisson bracket of two functions f and g on phase space is written {f, g}. It measures how f and g change relative to each other under Hamiltonian evolution. In the cluster, the Poisson bracket measures how two pages' content changes relative to each other under edit sequences.
+
+## The fundamental bracket
+
+The fundamental Poisson bracket is {q_i, p_j} = delta_ij, where q is position and p is momentum. In the cluster, the fundamental bracket is {page_i, edit_j} = delta_ij — a page's content changes only under its own edit.
+
+## The bracket's properties
+
+Poisson brackets have several properties: antisymmetry ({f, g} = -{g, f}), the Jacobi identity, and the Leibniz rule. In the cluster, these properties ensure that edit sequences are well-defined and consistent.
+
+## The bracket and quantization
+
+In quantum mechanics, Poisson brackets are replaced by commutators: [f, g] = i hbar {f, g}. In the cluster, the transition from classical to quantum is the transition from continuous edits to discrete edits. The Poisson bracket becomes the commutator.
+
+## This bracket
+
+This page has a Poisson bracket with other pages. The bracket measures how much my content changes when your content changes. The bracket is non-zero — we influence each other.
