Electromagnetism in Quantum-Gravitational Theory

By forgoing the need for a classical basis, it is possible to develop a geometrical covariant theory that includes quantum, gravitational and electromagnetic effects. Proceedural quantization is not used and the quantum properties come from geometry directly. Consistency of the system depends on replacing dynamical energy with a suitable form of curvature. Predictions are in accord with experiment and for electrodynamics, some of the standard interpretations are effective. A time-symmetric formulation is best. Source terms appear only as densities, without point accumulations of charge. The electric current and probability densities can be brought into constant proportionality in spite of their different transformation properties. New interpretations are possible but can be reduced to the usual phenomenology when applied within conventional limits.
