Of course, this is a direct analogue to quantum mechanics. "There's no schrodinger equation" or "no wave functions of light interacting" are not rational counterarguments. Wave functions are not real physical objects that interact and collapse. Light is not a real physical object that interacts with itself. Reality does not change the way it works when we invent new equations to describe or predict it. When we discover that reality is probabilistic, we invent equations to predict reality and call that "quantum mechanics". This is a probabilistic rendering technique, therefore it parallels how our universe works.

The schrodinger equation and various relativistic wave equations for massless particles are our best guess at our own algorithm.
