What is General Quantum Theory about?

Inspired by classical ("actual") Quantum Theory over $\mathbb{C}$ and Modal Quantum Theory (MQT), which is a model of Quantum Theory over certain finite fields, we introduce General Quantum Theory as a Quantum Theory -- in the K{\o}benhavn interpretation -- over general division rings with involution, in which the inner product "is" a $(\sigma,1)$-Hermitian form $\varphi$. This unites all known such approaches in one and the same theory, and we show that many of the known results such as no-cloning, no-deleting, quantum teleportation and super-dense quantum coding, which are known in classical Quantum Theory over $\mathbb{C}$ and in some MQTs, hold for any General Quantum Theory. On the other hand, in many General Quantum Theories, a geometrical object which we call "quantum kernel" arises, which is invariant under the unitary group $\mathbf{U}(V,\varphi)$, and which carries the geometry of a so-called polar space. We use this object to construct new quantum (teleportation) coding schemes, which mix quantum theory with the geometry of the quantum kernel (and the action of the unitary group). We also show that in characteristic $0$, every General Quantum Theory over an algebraically
