    In this long paper the author introduces a modification to the quantum field theory by proposing a particularly special role to the complete effective action which is obtained from the functional integral formulation of quantum field theory. Neither a compelling logical necessity for the modification nor an empirical justification based on agreement between observed and calculated physical quantities has been provided. The work will remain of doubtful value until a better justification has been found.
