Is this another realist deterministic interpretation?

Realist yes, albeit not realist about calculational tools.

A few quick questions regarding your interpretation (I tried reading the technical parts, but I’m not there yet)

I’m a 100% realist and determinist, so up until now I have kept my hopes on either Bohm or Gerard T Hooft’s interpretations.

Really very nice, Ulrich.

And so elegantly and profoundly direct and simple.

Lovely.
