Your question is not clear. Your last reference is from 1961 so is a bit dated to say the least (pre-Bell). Could you be more specific?
 
I try to rephrase:

How can we choose "safe" critical value or significance level in a framework of QT when applying the null hypothesis?

Does this make any sense?
 
In most sciences about 2 standard deviations (95% confidence) is traditional. Modern physics, however, tends to use much higher levels, like 5 standard deviations (99.9999% confidence).
 
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...
