3. The preference, in this context, for the term semiquantum over semiclassical is not merely a preference for a half-full glass over a half-empty glass. A semiclassical theory is widely understood to be a quantum theory in which the Feynman sum over paths is approximated by a sum over only the classical paths, or alternatively, as a WKB approximation to the wave function, whereas we refer to a system as semiquantum if one part is treated classically and the other part quantum mechanically.
