As many other theories about quantum mechanics, also this one is based on Nelson's idea of quantum mechanical effects in classical mechanics. Unfortunately, Nelson's idea cannot explain all the quantum mechanical effects observed in nature. In order to apply Nelson's approach, we need that the velo

Dear Saibal,       A most interesting paper. It seems to me that Fotini and Lee are fooling themselves by being surprised that a quantized theory emerges when they start off with the requirement of a minimum length between the nodes of the graphs that they are using. Such an assumption will
