  Using generalized bosons, we construct the fuzzy sphere $S_F^2$ and monopoles
on $S_F^2$ in a reducible representation of $SU(2)$. The corresponding quantum
states are naturally obtained using the GNS-construction. We show that there is
an emergent non-abelian unitary gauge symmetry which is in the commutant of the
algebra of observables. The quantum states are necessarily mixed and have
non-vanishing von Neumann entropy, which increases monotonically under a
bistochastic Markov map. The maximum value of the entropy has a simple relation
to the degeneracy of the irreps that constitute the reducible representation
that underlies the fuzzy sphere.
