    I’m actually very fond of elements of the pilot wave concept.

    I think there is a pilot wave, and I think it’s in an inaccessible dimension, and I also think whatever drives it also obeys quantum weirdnesses.

      Pilot wave isn’t another dimension. It exists in configuration space which is a concept of quantum mechanics in general. What pilot wave provides is a deterministic narrative for quantum mechanics.

        Well it is in another dimension. We analyze spatial dimensions in a 3D framework, but it’s very obvious there are additive forces that we don’t understand and are forever inaccessible to us, outside of inferring properties based on outcomes we observe.

        We don’t live in a 3+1 dimensional universe, at minimum we live in a 4+1 universe.
