Abstract

The auxiliary q-rules of quantum mechanics developed in other papers are applied to the problem of the location of material objects, both macroscopic and microscopic. All objects tend to expand in space due to the uncertainty in their momentum. The q-rules are found to oppose this perpetual expansion with a collapse mechanism that insures the dependable localization of objects in ordinary human experience.
