Four questions for quantum-classical hybrid theory

Description
Four questions are discussed which may be addressed to any proposal of a quantum-classical hybrid theory which concerns the direct coupling of classical and quantum mechanical degrees of freedom. In particular, we consider the formulation of hybrid dynamics presented recently. This linear theory differs from the nonlinear ensemble theory of Hall and Reginatto, but shares with it to fulfil all consistency requirements discussed in the literature, while earlier attempts failed. - Here, we additionally ask: Does the theory allow for superposition, separable, and entangled states originating in the quantum mechanical sector? Does it allow for 'Free Will', as introduced, in this context, by Diósi? Is it local? Does it provide hints for the emergence of quantum mechanics from dynamics beneath?
