We examine a new application of the Holstein-Primakoff realization of the simple harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian. This involves the use of infinite-dimensional representations of the Lie algebra $su(2)$. The representations contain nonstandard raising and lowering operators, which are nonlinearly related to the standard $a^{\dag}$ and $a$. The new operators also give rise to a natural family of two-oscillator couplings. These nonlinear couplings are not generally self-adjoint, but their low-energy limits are self-adjoint, exactly solvable, and stable. We discuss the structure of a theory involving these couplings. Such a theory might have as its ultra-low-energy limit a Lorentz-violating Abelian gauge theory, and we discuss the extremely strong astrophysical constraints on such a model.
