Abstract

Two recent studies have presented new information relevant to the transition from quantum behavior to classical behavior, and related this to parameters characterizing the universe as a whole. The present study based on a separate approach has developed similar results that appear to substantiate aspects of earlier work and also to introduce further new ideas.
