Abstract
We extend WKB theory of bound states to all states of nonseparable systems derived from separable states by transformations that do not destroy the basic nodal structure of wavefunctions. We discuss the quantum and classical mechanics of semiclassical approximation and analyze the relation to other recent work.Keywords
