Abstract: Let $calS(mathcalH)$ denote the set of all self-adjoint operators (not necessarily bounded) on a Hilbert space $mathcalH$, which is the set of all physical quantities on a quantum system $mathcalH$. We introduce a binary relation $$ on $calS(mathcalH)$. We show that if $$, then $A$ and $B$ are affiliated with some abelian von Neumann algebra. The relation $$ induces a partial algebraic operation $oplus$ on $calS(mathcalH)$. We prove that $$ is a generalized orthoalgebra. This algebra is a generalization of the famous Birkhoff,--,von Neumann quantum logic model. It establishes a mathematical structure on all physical quantities on $mathcalH$. In particular, we note that $$ has a partial order $preceq$, and prove that $ApreceqB$ if and only if $A$ has a value in $Delta$ implies that $B$ has a value in $Delta$ for every Borel set $Delta$ not containing $0$. Moreover, the existence of the infimum $AwedgeB$ and supremum $AveeB$ for $A,BinmathcalS(mathcalH)$ (with respect to $preceq$) is studied, and it is shown at the end that the position operator $Q$ and momentum operator $P$ in the Heisenberg commutation relation satisfy $QwedgeP=0$.
