    Graduate FDM as a physical substrate for the pilot wave, has this been examined?

    Hi I'm not a physicist and I'm still developing the precision to express this properly. What I'm asking is whether the mathematical structure of the FDM field — specifically whether polar decomposition of its field equation produces dynamics analogous to the pilot wave guidance equation — has...

    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?

    Graduate FDM as a physical substrate for the pilot wave, has this been examined?

    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...

    Graduate FDM as a physical substrate for the pilot wave, has this been examined?

    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...

    Graduate FDM as a physical substrate for the pilot wave, has this been examined?

    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...
