The sixteen-dimensional supcrspace structure of the manifestly-covariant can onical formalism of quantum gravity is investigated in detail. The fielcl equations and t he equaltime (anti-) commutation relations are shown to be expressible in the sixteen-dimensi onal form. The sixteen-dimensional Poincare-like superalgebra found previously is rcderived in a unified way. It is shown that this superalgebra is simulated by a system of an iclealize d angular supermomentum and an idealized supermomentum, where the former is express ed as an antisymmetric product of the latter and an idealized position supervector.
