Physics - Formation Of Wave Centers

Still in a friendly skeptic vein, I was wondering about another issue of wave center formation.

Let me try posing the issue with this question:

How can space develop "preferred" wave centers, if every point of space is already emitting waves equally?

For every wave front comming IN to define a wave center, would there not be an equal wave front going OUT to cancel it. Seems as though this conundrum might exist at any and all places, so how could space ever distinguish itself as anything other than an undifferentiated continuum of unity?

Hi Robert (the curious one with the never ending questions!),

Another good question from you to test my knowledge hey!

Robert - How can space develop "preferred" wave centers, if every point of space is already emitting waves equally?

Geoff - WSM requires that every point in space has waves flowing through it from all other matter in finite spherical universe. This is a little different from writing that space is emitting waves! (More complete answer below.)

Geoff - Great question. I think the answer is as follows (but this needs to be mathematically shown as logically valid).
For most of space you are correct, on average the multitude of waves are not in phase, so no coherent spherical In-Wave can form, thus we do not see any matter 'particles' in most of space (but there is still waves in space, and this relates to Physic's Zero Point Energy / Quantum Vacuum Fluctuations).
However, either by chance, or it has always been this way, for a tiny fraction of space the waves coming in from all directions (same as surface of a sphere when you are at center) are coherent, and the wave amplitudes combine to form a coherent spherical In-Wave. Once this is formed, because of the non-linear Properties of Space (waves travel faster with higher wave amplitude when waves are coherent), the waves become trapped in this coherent state (mainly near wave-center i think where amplitude is highest), and this is why matter wave-center 'particles' continues to exist over time.

It should also be realised that the above wave structures are spherical standing waves, made of Spherical In-Waves which flow through Wave-Center and become Spherical Out-Waves. Thus the actual wave center appears and disappears about 10^20 times each second as waves alternately combine then cancel with one another. So when matter is moving, the matter does not actually move like the continuous motion of a 'particle', instead it takes discrete little 'steps' as each wave center appears, then disappears, then re-appears in a slightly different location (depending on what is happening to In-waves).

This is how I see it, it is a bit complicated to begin, but now seems sensible to me. Please feel free to ask more questions if you don't follow any of above.
There may be some diagrams that help with above, see;

PS - This post carries on from previous post with Robert's questions on similar subjects, and my attempted replies;

It is good to keep pages fairly short, to create more pages with related subject headings and links between them (Google will love you!).
So thanks,
