In a recent paper we have analyzed the role that a universal set of {\it local} symmetries plays in suppressing the superposition principle in classical mechanics via a path integral formulation of classical mechanics itself. In this paper first we generalize those local symmetries, second we study the role which the gauge fixing plays and third we put forward the idea of which ones should be the physical degrees of freedom of the theory.

Abstract
In a recent paper we have analyzed the role that a universal set of {\it local} symmetries plays in suppressing the superposition principle in classical mechanics via a path integral formulation of classical mechanics itself. In this paper first we generalize those local symmetries, second we study the role which the gauge fixing plays and third we put forward the idea of which ones should be the physical degrees of freedom of the theory.File in questo prodotto:
