I understand how we associate high energies with small wavelengths and thus small distance scales, but we also tend to associate small distance scales with ordinary quantum mechanics, and hence low quantum numbers (low energy). Also, many high-energy processes are active across large distance scales, such as binary black hole mergers, neutron star mergers, the LHC, etc.
So what, really, are the "rules" (beyond the de Broglie wavelength equation) for associating large/small distance scales with large/small energy scales?
