abstract
In the 1980's and 90's, A. O Barut and colleagues developed a nonperturbative approach to electrodynamics eschewing so-called ``second-quantization". Based on incorporation of self-energy terms, the resulting nonlinear and nonlocal theory explained many well-known phenomena of atomic and radiation physics. In 2017, this author introduced a nonlinear, nonlocal theory with the intent of resolving the Measurement Problem. Barut also suggested that his theory resolved such paradoxes. Here I compare the two theories with special attention to That Dot on the Screen.

Locality, Micro- vs. Macro-, Particle Interpretations and All That: A Lagrangian Approach to the Measurement Problem
The 2017 nonlinear quantum term cannot be generated by integrating out a linear auxiliary field in a Lagrangian, so the theory resists a local particle interpretation.
