Two types of particles, A and B with their corresponding antiparticles,
are defined in a one-dimensional cyclic lattice with an odd number of sites.
In each step of time evolution,
each particle acts as a source for the polarization field of the other
type of particle with nonlocal action but with an effect decreasing with the
distance:
;
.
It is shown that the combined distribution of these particles
obeys the time evolution of a free particle as given by quantum mechanics.
