A new Lax equation is introduced for the KP hierarchy which avoids the use of pseudo-differential operators, as used in the Sato approach. This Lax equation is closer to that used in the study of the dispersionless KP hierarchy, and is obtained by replacing the Poisson bracket with the Moyal bracket. The dispersionless limit, underwhich the Moyal bracket collapses to the Poisson bracket, is particularly simple.

Non-commutative 5d Chern-Simons theory on the spinor bundle compactifies to the KP equation, with vanishing tree amplitudes and W_{1+∞} defect algebra reducing to w_{1+∞} in the dispersionless limit.
