What you've written is extremely interesting. Not sure how much of it I truly understand, but I wanted to add that your explanation for everything as a wave function reminded me of oscilloscope music, ie. depicting images with waveforms.
A tutorial I watched demonstrates the drawing of a mushroom, then animates it by modulating with a larger wave. In my laymen's head model, Spacetime is like a very large wave that everything else is being modulated by.
Here's the relevant video: https://youtu.be/rtR63-ecUNo

very interesting video, and yes the whole universe is modeled by a wave function, but we probably will never get access to it because of it necessary to observe the whole surface to get it, is like an atom trying to get a wave function of your body, it has not enough information for that.
but in reverse it works, you can get a wave function of the probabilistic states of your cell just observing your surface, if you are dead, they will be dead just a simple example
we can observe the whole surface of the sun and get an idea when it will die (because we have access to its wave function), also we can make valid conjectures about the probabilistic state of every atom and subparticle inside the sun.
example when we walk, we tend to transform our walk patterns to a wave function, till some unexpected change in the ambient appears, this frees our brain and allow us to think in another thing. try to walk with a pattern that does not tend to stability, while that you will never be able to use your brain to do another task, just like you brain wants stability the universe also want it.
this phenomenon not only happens when we walk, we do this all the time at multiples level in the hierarchy of the mental models that we use for describing the world or our actions, which some times result in bad predictions but allow us to the think in other complex problems on a higher level of abstractions.
