==Abstract==

Spontaneous emission is viewed as the continuous absorption of energy by   an atomic oscillator followed by quantization during decay. Energy-time   uncertainty can then be defined in a manifestly covariant way by   establishing space-time boundaries on the action integral of the decay   process; where the minimum of action is not zero, but h. First order   equations are derived describing the emission of a photon. Second order   emission is shown to yield the Feigenbaum equation. The similarities   between them are noted. It is concluded that discrete forms of time, or   oscillation periods, function as operators in Lagrangian quantum   mechanics because they take as their inputs a delocalized superposition   state and return as their outputs a localized quantum state. It is   hypothesized that period doubling must be accompanied by asymmetric   geometries.
