Abstract
We describe a framework for quantum field theory that is based on quantized binary alternatives. We discuss the relation of the dynamics of quantum fields and the time evolution of the Heisenberg operators defined by the creation and annihilation operators of the alternatives. An explicit expression for the vacuum vector of the quantum fields is derived. Finally we discuss eigenstates of the momentum operators.
