Toward a Relativistic Theory of Statevector Reduction

“For each measurement, one is required to ascribe to the ψ-function a quite sudden change… The abrupt change by measurement… is the most interesting point of the entire theory.… For this reason one can not put the ψ-function directly in place of the physical thing… because from the realism point of view observation is a natural process like any other and cannot per se bring about an interruption of the orderly flow of events.”
