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.
