    "abstract": "We review the formulation of the problem of the electromagnetic\nself-interaction of a relativistic charged particle in the framework of the\nmanifestly covariant classical mechanics of Stueckelberg, Horwitz and Piron.\nThe gauge fields of this theory, in general, cause the mass of the particle to\nchange. We show that the non-linear Lorentz force equation for the\nself-interaction resulting from the expansion of the Green\u0027s function has\nchaotic solutions. We study the autonomous equation for the off-shell particle\nmass here, for which the effective charged particle mass achieves a macroscopic\naverage value determined by what appears to be a strange attractor.",
