      The Wigner-Weyl-Moyal approach to quantum mechanics is recalled, and similarities to classical probability theory emphasized. The Wigner distribution function is generalized and viewed as a construction of a bosonic object, a target space coordinate, for example, in terms of a bilinear convolution of two fermionic objects, e.g. a quark antiquark pair. This construction is essentially non-local, generalizing the idea of a local current. Such Wigner functions are shown to solve a BPS generalized Moyal-Nahm equation.
