Abstract
The quest for finding self-consistent background solutions in quantum field theory is closely related to the way one decides to set the renormalization scale $k$. This freedom in the choice of the scale setting can lead to ambiguities and conceptual inconsistencies such as the nonconservation of the stress-energy tensor. In this paper a setting for the ``scale field'' is proposed at the level of effective action, which avoids such inconsistencies by construction. The mechanism and its potential is exemplified for scalar ${\ensuremath{\phi}}^{4}$ theory and for Einstein-Hilbert-Maxwell theory.
