Nonlinear, nonrelative wavefunction

Denying the unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics seem to be the simultaneous requirements of relativism and nonlinearity for the wavefunction. Wavefunction linearity and relativity are seamlessly incorporated under the physics of Fermi. Has there yet been a successful theory explaining the wavefunction as nonlinear, not necessarily relative?

Chronos,

How does this link you suggested above relate to the nonlinearity of (relativistic) wavefunctions? I searched its nine pages for the term "nonlinear" and got no results; searching for "wave-function" (sic) obtained only two results.

What would a nonlinear wave function look like? Would it have an appearance like

\Psi \ne P: \frac{\psi}{2}?
 
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
