- Abstract: The Galilean symmetry and the Poincare symmetry are usually taken as the
fundamental (relativity) symmetries for `nonrelativistic' and `relativistic'
physics, respectively, quantum or classical. Our fully group theoretical
formulation approach to the theories, together with its natural companion of
mechanics from symplectic geometry, ask for different perspectives. We present
a sketch of the full picture here, emphasizing aspects which are different from
the more familiar picture. The letter summarizes our earlier presented
formulation while focusing on the part beyond, with an adjusted, or corrected,
identification of the basic representations having the (Newtonian) mass as a
Casimir invariant. Discussion on the limitations of the Poincare symmetry for
the purpose is particularly elaborated.

We identify two different classes: the near edge physics of sparse'' and the near edge of dense'' chaotic systems.
The distinction lies in the ratio between the number of a system's random parameters and its Hilbert space dimension.
While the two families share identical spectral correlations at energy scales comparable to the level spacing, the density of states and its fluctuations near the edge are different.

We stress how the first-class phase-space constraints may be relaxed if we interpret them as fixing the values of new degrees of freedom.

We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.
