How stands collapse I

Description

In this volume in honour of GianCarlo Ghirardi, I discuss my involvement with ideas of dynamical collapse of the state vector. Ten problems are introduced, nine of which were seen following my initial work. Four of these problems had a resolution in GianCarlo Ghirardi, Alberto Rimini and Tullio Weber's spontaneous localization (SL) model (which added one more problem). This stimulated a (somewhat different) resolution of these five problems in the continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) model, in which I combined my initial work with SL. In an upcoming volume in honour of Abner Shimony, I shall discuss the status of the remaining five post-CSL problems
