It’s not particles OR fields. It’s not one thing: particles with wave-like properties, or conversely, waves with particle-like properties. Instead, reality comprises two distinct and separate things: fields AND particles working together to give rise to what we see around us.
Both work very well for modeling EM interactions with conductors. I export their data files to Mathematica to create energy flow streamline plots and other less conventional displays.
I think we have the same physical understanding, but are just expressing it differently. It is my understanding that an energetic quantum field exists over all space, and interacts with a particle creating a wave in the quantum field (Pilot Wave) that guides the wave, like a surfer riding a water wave. This gives the particle simultaneously both a real wave-like behavior as well as a real particle-like behavior. Entangled particles have been shown to exchange information about each others states instantaneously across space and the experiments showing this were just given the Nobel prize. So in Pilot wave theory, the real Pilot Wave must be transmitting information about its state to the other particle instantaneously, and this is completely incompatible with Relativity theory, but is completely compatible with Galilean Relativity.
Changes in the Electric field as well as the Gravitational field propagate instantaneously in the nearfield and at the speed of light in the farfield. You can see this in that the the basic quasi-static force formulas for the Coulomb electric field, Biot-Savart magnetic field, and Newtonian gravity, which are independent of time, indicating they are instantaneous. This interpretation is confirmed by setting the wave equation for these propagating fields to a source term and analyzing the speed of the waves, which shows that in the nearfield these fields propagate instantaneously, and after a wavelength these fields reduce to the speed of light in the farfield. This corresponds to the phase and group speed, as well as the information speed and is shown in my paper.
The Pilot Wave interpretation of Quantum mechanics is a completely deterministic non-local theory, where particles are always real, and the positions and velocities of the particles are known at all times. it also assumes the particles are guided by a real pilot wave which can interfere and interacts instantaneously with other particles. Instantaneous wave interaction is incompatible Relativity theory, but is compatible with Galilean Relativity, where space and time are absolute. So if Special Relativity is wrong and Galilean Relativity is the correct theory of Relativity, and instantaneous propagating fields are real, as indicated in my research, then Pilot Wave theory is the best interpretation of Quantum Mechanics due to its deterministic simplicity. Again see my paper (ver 2) for more information, and the short YouTube presentation of this research:

I think there's a subtle conceptual distinction between your thinking and mine. You're assuming that a particle has a particular unique field coupled to it that is reaching out and interacting with distant particles instantaneously. My work leads me to conclude that fields and particles are completely independent phenomena. So in a sense, there's an instantaneous, non-local interaction, but only because the field is already there. And changes in the EM field propagate at the speed of light. Gravity may be superluminal.
But I find your research interesting because it points to the correct interpretation of quantum mechanics, combined with my my results, which are that instantaneous fields are possible, and that the true form of Relativity is Galilean Relativity. I'm addition, your results provide additional evidence by showing the manifestation of Pilot Wave theory in the macroscopic world.
It is well known the General Relativity reduces to Gravitoelectromagnetism for weak gravitational fields and when Relativity does not apply. See wiki Gravitoelectromagnetism. Since we only observe weak gravitational fields, then Gravitoelectromagnetism must predict all known gravitational effects. This includes the instantaneous nearfield and speed of light farfield, which I verified in my paper. What is interesting is that gravity now becomes a propagating field that can be quantized, unlike General Relativity which can not be quantized. So this makes the unification of gravity and quantum mechanics possible.
Yes, I met Tom and Professor Vigier, a proponent of Pilot Wave theory. We met at the Causality and Locality in Modern Physics in Toronto Canada ,1997. I presented my superluminal EM and Gravity theory, and Tom presented his improved (through better astronomical observations) Simone Laplace argument showing the speed of gravity is instantaneous. I showed him my gravitational theory argument showing that That gravity theory as well as Electromagnetic theory shows that both fields propagate instantaneously in the nearfield and within a wavelength reduces to the speed of light. They were both impressed with the results, but Tom had his own ideas involving alternative theories to gravity and persued them afterwards. Yoe will see in my paper or the YouTube presentation, that since General Relativity is based on Special Relativity, then it must have the same problems and must also be an optical illusion. Then the question is what is a better theory of gravity?
But I have a proposed solution. Instantaneous fields are a reality, and that the true form of Relativity is Galilean Relativity. This satisfies the known objections with Pilot Wave theory. I present both theoretical and experimental proof of this in my paper:
Nonlocal interaction assumed by pilot wave theory is related to entanglement. In pilot wave theory, particles are guided by a "pilot wave" that determines their behavior. This pilot wave is a nonlocal field that exists throughout space, and it is this nonlocality that allows for the instantaneous interaction of particles. Entanglement is a quantum phenomenon in which two or more particles are linked in such a way that they share the same fate. This means that measuring the state of one entangled particle instantly determines the state of the other particles, regardless of the distance between them. This instantaneous correlation is another example of nonlocality.
Pilot wave theory provides a possible explanation for entanglement by suggesting that the nonlocal pilot wave is responsible for the correlation between entangled particles.
Also Pilot wave theory assumes the waves interact with the particles instantaneously (non local) and this also goes against Relativity. So your theory may also have this problem.
Position and momentum are dependant in Relativity. But Pilot Wave theory is not a Relativistic theory and the model treats position and momentum as independant, making it impossible to make a Relativistic version of Pilot Wave theory. Reference the following video:
Weaknesses of Pilot-Wave Theory - Ask a Spaceman (ref 2:50 min into video)
The TLDR is that the study of EM energy flow gives rise to a model in which fields guide the flow of energy in a way very similar to the pilot wave model. Some of the core ideas are collected in my paper, here: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2017.0453
Fields and Particles working together, though so obivious has been deliberatly obscured in order to hobble human progress, to what end I am not sure, but I am sure that that end is not good for any of us.
I think it's timing; background constellations and the planets moving through them work this way too. It's coming right, plenty of signs things are keeping to 'cosmic' schedule.
This reminds of Huygens optics exploring quantum states using analogy of a string connected to speaker cones: https://youtu.be/ExhSqq1jysg
What do you use for simulation/modeling?
This is a good example of some of my work that relies on NEC modelling: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359984771_Energy_Flow_for_Reflecting_Interacting_Beams
Thanks.
I will soon be researching arrays for Spatial Light Modulation (SLM).
Should be a fun time.
I mostly use Numerical Electromagnetic Code (NEC). There are two different free GUIs I prefer:

That's the thing that stuns me. All this is so obvious. Hard to believe ignoring or overlooking it isn't deliberate.
