It was when I really understood this statement here:

The Schrödinger equation tells you the behaviour of ψ, but does not say what ψ is. Schrödinger tried unsuccessfully, in his fourth paper, to interpret it as a charge density.[3] In 1926 Max Born, just a few days after Schrödinger's fourth and final paper was published, successfully interpreted ψ as a probability amplitude[4].

Most importantly, this part here:
The Schrödinger equation tells you the behaviour of ψ, but does not say what ψ. is
And that because: "Solutions to Schrödinger's equation describe not only atomic and subatomic systems, electrons and atoms, but also macroscopic systems, possibly even the whole universe"
It was when I started understanding all of this that I really got a much better understanding the heavier math work being discussed here, and what exactly DD's math was trying to accomplish (accomplished w/e).
I really agree that a person has to get a strong understanding of these maths and physics, to even start to have a clue what DD's fundamental equation is expressing.
I look forward to picking those equations apart... and understanding further.. Now that these things have "clicked", I feel a lot more prepared to get into the heavier parts of discussion..
Great Stuff.
