Dirac's rest mass seems to be expressed as a fourth dimension. If we were to try to include this rest-mass dimension into Minowski space time, could it be expressed as a distance in space? S^2=x^2+y^2+z^2+(rest-mass dimension)^2-(ct)^2?

Think about the dimensions in your expression! You'll see that it doesn't make any sense, and I'm pretty sure Dirac has never written such a nonsensical formula ;-).

Thank you again for the reply. Was I mistaken then in thinking of rest mass as a fourth dimension?
 
Of course, how can a mass (dimension kg in the SI) be a fourth dimension of space (dimension metre in the SI)? It's simply not making the slightest sense! Where have you gotten this idea from?

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
