If any physical quantity, and therefore any physical phenomenon, can be
modeled in terms of wave functions, as quantum mechanics tells us, doesn't
that mean that wave functions can be modeled in terms of any other physical
phenomenon, and further that any physical phenomenon can be modeled in
terms of any other physical phenomenon?

Whatever are we to do to show the
true harmony and peace that rule here,
somewhat disguised at the moment by
the apparent disorder now seemingly in
progress?

Wavy G is a functioning, physical phenomena that needs to take a quantum
leap?

Sounds like rather circular reasoning there, mimus.

Can I model my peanut butter sandwich on my Toyota's electronic
ignition ? Maybe I could, but how useful is that going to be ? Models
are just that, models. We generate, play with and discard them as
suites us.

My point is that the rhetorical questions supplied are in fact implied by
the quantum mechanical claim that any physical phenomenon can be modeled in
terms of wave functions.

With a dash of transitivity.

"Modeled" here meaning "accurately and significantly represented".

Sure!

Well, who knows? the PBS model of yer ignition system, or the TEIS model of
yer sandwich, might well prove very illuminating.
