I also just recently bought both Milo's and Lyndon's books and have been a long time proponent of Schroedinger's quantum-wave mechanics. The historical interpretation is that matter has both wave and particle-like properties. Milo takes the position the primary condition of all action is wave in nature. I agree. Waves can cary momentum and act like a particle, and can also pass through a medium, material or otherwise, as if they're invisible. All light moving at the same speed in gravitational free space is typical of wave propagation through a medium. But the particle-like quantum properties still exist.
Consider a homogeneous medium with no matter. All waves propagate through it at the same speed. Now let a volume of the medium increase in density such that waves are slowed by the change in permeability. The energy of the waves would tend to spread the greater density of the medium apart. However, some waves of a particular length could reflect off the surface of the greater density and tend to contain it. In effect, a particle with internal dynamic action is created.
Here's a dynamic prionciple derived from geometry. The ratio of the surface area of a sphere or cube per volume increases for longer radius or cubic length of a side. Put 8 cubes ogether to form another cube and half the surface area of each smaller cube is contained inside the large cube. Thus the amount of reflection per waves passing through a smalleer medium increases per volume of internal action. To compensate the medium needs more inertia for more inside action.
Divide the radius of the hydrogen atom by 1836 and multiply the electron mass by 1836 and you get a nuclear density to the fourth power of that of the atom.
It is interesting that before Planck, and before Wien, there was the Stefan Boltzman fourth power law leading to the formulation of the Planck contant.
