Graduate FDM as a physical substrate for the pilot wave, has this been examined
That's a fair and important point. Is there a formulation of Bohmian mechanics — perhaps field theoretic extensions — where the wave field does live in three dimensional space rather than configuration space?- mzhb

That's a fair challenge. In de Broglie-Bohm theory the guidance equation determines particle trajectories from the wave function. The wave function is mathematically well defined but its ontological status — whether it represents a real physical field or just a calculational tool — is an open...- mzhb

Yes — Fuzzy Dark Matter is an established dark matter hypothesis in the literature. It's also called ultralight dark matter or wave dark matter. The canonical reference is Hu, Barkana and Gruzinov 2000. A comprehensive recent review is Lam Hui's 2021 Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics...- mzhb

Pilot wave theory (de Broglie-Bohm) requires a real physical wave field permeating all of space to guide particle behaviour. The guidance equation is mathematically precise but the physical identity of the pilot wave has been left unspecified since 1927. Fuzzy Dark Matter is an ultralight scalar...- mzhb
