On the first hand;

As far as we can tell after the first hour the Quantum-stat of the microchip is in flux until acted upon.

I wasn't aware that meat-type people could use microchips. And AI-type people have a full set already.

On the second hand;

A lot of fen need a "Dose of the Wave" either to just maintain their Biomod, or to trigger a Special Effect of their Biomod

I'm not aware of any, and I uploaded approximately half of the "Characters" section of the FenWiki. Some AIs need (or think they need) handwavium for basic maintenance, but Ais don't biomod.

In The Gripping Hand;

These are Questions involving Handwavium and Humanity that you should Know Not to Ask.

The characters might Know Not to Ask, although even that won't stop The Professor. The authors (a.k.a. the Fenspace Collective) need to know what will or won't work, and why, so that we can write stories in a consistent world.

So ... How the heck does that work?
