Quantum mechanics has a mysterious rule: the probability of finding a particle at position x is proportional to |ψ(x)|² - the square of the wavefunction. Standard physics treats this as a postulate with no physical explanation for why it is the square.
This model, developed by Vijay Shankar Sharma, provides a physical answer. A particle is a distributed disturbance in a physical substrate - a real physical medium. Where the disturbance is stronger, it deposits more energy when it meets a detector. Energy scales as amplitude squared. The Born rule follows directly - it is not mysterious, it is wave physics.
Move the sliders. Watch where detection events (green dots) appear - always at the interference maxima where energy density is highest.
