John Bell proposed an ontology for the GRW modification of quantum mechanics in terms of flashes occurring at space-time points. The paper spells out the motivation for this ontology, enquires into the status of the wave-function in it, critically examines the claim of its being Lorentz-invariant and considers whether it is a parsimonious, but nevertheless physically adequate ontology.

Quantum Reconstruction and Phenomenology per the Relativity Principle
The relativity principle is shown to necessitate the discreteness requirement in quantum reconstruction programs when combined with Planck's radiation law, unifying the foundational explanations of special relativity ...
