How are commutation (of observables) and quantization related? Reading about the Stone-Von Neumann Theorem, it seems that commutativity is the classical limit of quantum mechanics, and hence non-quantization, but I don't understand the intuition behind the fact that commutativity of operators should imply any kind of quantization.
In a theory involving `quantized' quantities, such as quantum mechanics, why does commutation of operators (observables) suddenly become an important topic- why does quantization come hand in hand with the uncertainty principle?
