The influence of interaction on the nature of the quantum field is investigated in the framework of a self-interacting theory. By analysing the equations that relate the time-ordered vacuum expectation values, it is shown that fields in interaction exhibit some novel features, among others a phenomenon of self-regulation in view of the modified short-distance behaviour and aspects indicative of dynamical dimensions. more...
