Is there a rule that states that calculations of particle interactions at micro scales, by nature, cannot be scaled up into the macro-systems? Or are we just limited by our current understanding and nothing really prevents us from finding a way to scale quantum equations upwards?

The problem is that even quantum systems containing *a few* particles are extremely difficult to solve. Treating a system of 10^(23) interacting quantum-mechanical particles is impossible, even if you know exactly the nature of their interactions.
