One way of obtaining a version of quantum mechanics without observers, and thus of solving the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, is to modify the Schroedinger evolution by implementing spontaneous collapses of the wave function. An explicit model of this kind was proposed in 1986 by Ghirardi, Rimini, and Weber (GRW), involving a nonlinear, stochastic evolution of the wave function. We point out how, by focussing on the essential mathematical structure of the GRW model and a clear ontology, it can be generalized to (regularized) quantum field theories in a simple and natural way.

Addressing the so called quantum/classical "divide" in gravitational contexts, and its implications in cosmology
Cosmic structure would come from spontaneous collapse of quantum states, not from quantum fluctuations, which would also suppress primordial gravitational waves and avoid eternal inflation.
