title: NMR and relative quantum theory.
abstract: Assumptions on which NMR dynamical studies have been based for nearly 50 years are consistent with a relative quantum theory based on Minkowski spacetime. A symmetry condition required by the existence of reference frames takes over the usual role of particle permutation symmetry, leaving a quantum theory of relative motion which only involves observables.
