For a less mystifying view, see N. Maxwell, ``Are Probabilism and Special
Relativity Incompatible?'', _Philosophy of Science_ 198[4?].  He suggests
that wave-packet collapse occurs whenever the difference in rest-energy
between the possible collapsed states exceeds a certain value.  His account
reproduces all the empirical successes of orthodox QM but gives different
predictions for certain as-yet-untested circumstances.  More detailed
references available upon request.

Warning:  I have directed followups to net.philosophy and net.physics only.
