Alright, this question may seem simple in comparison to some of the questions in here, but whatever.

So, I've been doing some reading on Quantum Superposition, and I was curious as to whether or not anyone has ever applied its principles to Spherical Standing Wave Structure of Matter.

What's Spherical Standing Wave Structure of Matter?
 
oops...just Spherical Wave Structure...as in Spherical Wave Structure of Matter proposed by William Clifford, and expanded upon by Schrodinger and Einstein (General Relativity is based on the Spherical Wave Structure of Matter), and others.
 

Thread 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

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...

Thread 'Is Maxwell's electromagnetism an effective (field) theory?'

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...
