Abstract
A previously proposed field theory is quantized. The theory contains a parameter having the character of an elementary length. We fix the value of this parameter by scaling it to the weak interaction strength. It is shown that this way negative metric states are confined to a region of the order 10-15 cm. The resulting quantum theory of interacting fields is Lorentz and gauge invariant, has a unitary S-matrix, and is convergent.
