Abstract
The problem of obtaining a realistic relativistic description of a qua ntum system is discussed in the context of a simple (light-cone) latti ce field theory. A natural stochastic model is proposed which, althoug h nonlocal, is relativistic (in the appropriate lattice sense), and wh ich is operationally indistinguishable from the standard quantum theor y. The generalization to a broad class of lattice theories is briefly described.
