First remark: Feynman's discovery in accordance of which quantum trajectories are of fractal nature (continuous everywhere but nowhere differentiable) suggests describing the dynamics of such systems by explicitly introducing the Brownian motion of fractional order in their equations. The second remark is that, apparently, it is only in the complex plane that the Brownian motion of fractional order with independent increments can be generated, by using random walks defined with the complex roots of the unity; in such a manner that, as a result, the use of complex variables would be compulsory to describe quantum systems. Here one proposes a very simple set of axioms in order to expand the consequences of these remarks. Loosely speaking, a one-dimensional system with real-valued coordinate is in fact the average observation of a one-dimensional system with complex-valued coordinate: It is a strip modeling. Assuming that the system is governed by a stochastic differential equation driven by a complex valued fractional Brownian of order n, one can then obtain the explicit expression of the corresponding covariant stochastic derivative with respect to time, whereby we switch to the extension of Lagrangian mechanics. One can then derive a Schrödinger equation of order n in quite a direct way. The extension to relativistic quantum mechanics is outlined, and a generalized Klein–Gordon equation of order n is obtained. As a by-product, one so obtains a new proof of the Schrödinger equation.
