Quantum gravity has not yet obtained a usable theory. We apply the semiclassical theory instead, where the space-time remains classical(i.e.: unquantized). However, the hybrid quantum-classical coupling is a causal, violates both the linearity of quantum theory and the Born rule as well. Such anomalies can go away if we modify the standard mean-field coupling, building on the mechanism of quantum measurement and feed-back well-known in, e.g., quantum optics.The newtonian limit can fully be worked out, it leads to the gravity-related spontaneous wave function collapse theory of Penrose and the speaker.
