  Some years ago it was shown that, in some cases, a notion of locality can
arise from the group of symmetry enjoyed by the theory, thus in an intrinsic
way. In particular, when Moebius covariance is present, it is possible to
associate some particular transformations to the Tomita Takesaki modular
operator and conjugation of a specific interval of an abstract circle. In this
context we propose a way to define an operator representing the coordinate
conjugated with the modular transformations. Remarkably this coordinate turns
out to be compatible with the abstract notion of locality. Finally a concrete
example concerning a quantum particle on a line is also given.
