ABSTRACT: The non-localities in quantum theory (QT) (the most famous example is expressed in the violation of Bell’s inequality in experiments) impede the construction of a local causal model of QT including quantum field theory (QFT). The laws of collective behavior may be considered to be types of non-local laws: laws that apply to the collection of system components as a whole. The article presents a proposal for the treatment of the non-localities that exist in QT/QFT by the concepts of collective behavior. The basic components of the collective behavior are the spatial elements of the causal model of QT/QFT proposed by the author.
