For about a century we’ve treated “energy is proportional to frequency” as a sacred starting point in quantum theory, not something that itself needs explaining.
This blog article argues that we may have it backwards; starting from a simple geometric/entropic picture, that rule looks more like a consequence than a law. If you’re bored of yet another “interpretation of QM” and want to see someone actually poke at the foundations, this is that attempt.
