We review the argument that latent image formation is a measurement in which the state vector collapses, requiring an enhanced noise parameter in objective reduction models. Tentative observation of a residual noise at this level, plus several experimental bounds, imply that the noise must be colored (i.e., non-white), and hence frame dependent and non-relativistic. Thus a relativistic objective reduction model, even if achievable in principle, would be incompatible with experiment, the best one can do is the non-relativistic CSL model. This negative conclusion has a positive aspect, in that the non-relativistic CSL reduction model evades the argument leading to the Conway--Kochen "Free Will Theorem".

Proposal for a new quantum theory of gravity III: Equations for quantum gravity, and the origin of spontaneous localisation
A proposed noncommutative matrix action for 'atoms of spacetime-matter' aims to derive quantum gravity, spontaneous localisation, and classical general relativity with matter sources from a single principle.

Black hole entropy from trace dynamics and non-commutative geometry
A speculative calculation that recovers black hole entropy by identifying the trace-dynamics partition function result with the Euclidean gravitational action, after several assumptions that make the microstate count cancel.
