The preceding demonstrates that Bohr's introduction of the quantum concept in terms of an ad-hoc Planck constant [4] can be derived from classical electromagnetism and the assumption that the electron interacts with some type of negative-energy vacuum state (the PV in the present case).
In particular, the idea that MS amounts (only) to the assertion that haecceitistic differences between worlds are non-physical is very hard to make sense of in the case of classical electromagnetism. (The lessons of the hole argument in general relativity do not generalize straightforwardly to arbitrary gauge theories.) Worlds that differ merely haecceitistically are related to one another by a permutation of individuals.
From classical electromagnetism antenna theory, it is well known that antenna performance is highly dependent on the antenna size-to-wavelength ratio: The antenna must maintain a minimum size with respect to wavelength and its particular size determines the operating band.
