A Crackpot's Vision of Future Physics: Energy

You may, at this point, have started to gather that this model doesn't have quanta (that is, an energy "atom", an amount of energy which is the minimum amount possible).  This isn't quite accurate; quanta still exist, but they are more a macroscopic (from a certain perspective) phenomena than a property of the universe.  A quantum of energy is simply the smallest amount of energy necessary to move from one stable configuration to another, and vice versa, the amount released when moving from a higher-energy stable state to a lower-energy stable state.
More, energy levels below the level of the quantum stop looking like "energy".  Something that looks like negative energy becomes possible at that level; since everything is the interaction between waves, some of those interactions will move configurations towards stable configurations, and some will move those configurations away.  Energy below the level of the quantum is effectively negligible, from our macroscopic perspective, because the net effect is generally nil.

Generally, but not always.  Under certain circumstances, sub-quantum energy suddenly becomes important, because fluctuations in the density of this energy can make it easier for a given, say, electron, to move to a different stable configuration. Say, when we are shining a very weak amount of light on a phosphorous surface.  Under these circumstances, random variations in sub-quantum energy will result in some electrons being more energetic, and thus more likely to change configurations, and emit light in return.  This looks, from a macroscopic perspective, like randomness.

From a certain perspective, however, sub-quantum energy isn't energy at all.  We can't utilize it, as far as I can see, and even if we could there's not enough of it to be worth doing.  We can't even measure it, and I don't see that changing in the next century or two; in order to measure it with current technology, we'd have to somehow get it to condense to the point where it could cause a configuration shift, because that is the smallest event we can currently measure.
This is to be expected.  Given the scales involved, sub-quantum energy is effectively and permanently in a state of maximal entropy; any work it could do was expended in the first few seconds after the big bang.  Although sub-quantum energy may exist, this doesn't imply that subatomic events are dynamic; the subatomic galaxy-equivalents were cold and entropically dead long before atoms could form at our scales.  Our observed universe will be cold and entropically dead long before what we observe forms part of some still-larger configuration.  Entropy marches upward, in terms of scale.
