It seems to me that what changes is the rate of change of the phase, not the phase itself. I guess the most direct interpretation of...

Are you sure? It is true that you can factorize ##\partial_t^2\phi=c^2\partial_x^2\phi## (1D-WE) into...

But you admit later on in your post that both of these things can also be true of a classical equation. So they don't explicitly tell...

I don't see a contradiction. A mathematical equation, in and of itself, doesn't tell you how to interpret it physically. You always have...

Well, I think I gave some context in post #1. It's a tricky question. Is Schrödinger's equation a wave equation or not? There are...

Yes, Schrödinger looks more like a diffusion equation with imaginary prefactors. That does not matter you can render the ordinary wave...
