==== I think you’re right to push against the idea of “two different physics.” The split between “quantum” and “classical” is more of a scale-dependent approximation than a true divide: ====
* Quantum mechanics: describes each individual event of absorption/emission → instantaneous, probabilistic, boundary-defined.
* Classical mechanics: emerges when you integrate or average over many quantum events in time → smooth, deterministic, continuous.

So in your language:
* QM = the physics of single time-steps (one wavefront, one interaction).
* Classical = the physics of accumulated time (many wavefronts averaged).

That unifies them — not two laws, but two descriptions of the same universal process at different scales.
