Abstract
This chapter will motivate the introduction of one proposed physical principle of vacuum diagram loop divergence treatment by analytic continuation in conjunction with the proposed inherent physical property of virtual quantization. And show that when such a proposed principle and proposed property are adopted that it becomes possible to associate a finite negative zero-point energy. This proposed physical principle is shown to be a useful or practical and mathematically equivalent way of interpreting the Casimir effect. Some examples of the application of this proposed physical principle are outlined, in particular its application to the conformally flat de-Sitter case. An outline of the quantitative implications of this model is tabled for the sake of clarity and completeness. Important discussions on the most critical sources of error and falsification are mentioned, and concrete predictions made.
