nature are called initial conditions. These, then, together with the laws of nature, specify the
behavior as far as it can be specified at all...

New in this contribution are the point of view and the finding of new commonalities between classical and quantum systems.

The trajectory of a single body is also determined by the initial conditions, and
these are not spherically symmetric. As a consequence, the trajectory of a single
body moving in a spherically symmetric force field exhibits a lower symmetry than
that of the force field.

3 In view of the Titius–Bode rule (Titius 1766; Bode 1772), the initial conditions of the planets
appear not to be independent, cf (Weizsäcker 1943; Chandrasekhar 1946). Einstein (1923, p. 359)
also noticed that the initial conditions “are not free, but also have to obey certain laws.” This makes
the notion “initial condition” relative. However, this issue is beyond the scope of this contribution.
