But I know I'm reaching here. I just like fantasizing about math :).

[westurner → davesque]

Is there unitarity, symmetry, or conservation when x^2 ± y^2 = 1?

We square complex amplitudes to make them real.

Squaring the amplitude, rather Ψ∗Ψ=|Ψ|^2 is one way to ensure that you get real-valued probabilities, which is also related to the fact that […]" https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/280748/why-do-we...
