Abstract

It is shown that the essential features of the linear version of the continuous spontaneous localisation model for wavefunction collapse, due to Ghirardi, Rimini, Weber and Pearle, can be obtained in a model that does not have any extra, stochastic, field. The random choice, which determines the actual collapsed state, can be put directly into the dynamics of the wavefunction, rather than into the equation governing the random walk. An interesting link with the de Broglie-Bohm pilot-wave model is noted.
