Abstract
Nonlinear superposition of solitons provide almost linear branches as well as “quantum jumps" to stable particle-like cores. Can the quest for possible nonlinearity of quantum mechanics and the “collapse paradox" of the wave function in (non-)linear quantum mechanics be resolved by transitions between different quasi-linear branches of the corresponding Whitney surface?
