Dear Alan
I congratulate you on what you have accomplished so far. I highly appreciate your well-written essay in an effort to understand. It is so close to me.
I'm sorry that I missed your work in 2017. It happened by accident, I did not like the phrase in your abstract, and I did not read any further, and now I reproach myself for short-sightedness.
However, you asked for constructive criticism, not praise.
Speaking about the reality and massiveness of solitonally similar quantum waves, including the de Broglie waves, you have not yet realized that these are the quantum vortices of the turbulence of the superfluid medium of the physical vacuum that minimize the resistance of a moving particle or body.
These waves are designed for remote interaction with other bodies. The presence of these waves forms effect of the mass.
The kinetic energy of the body is equal to the energy of the de Broglie waves, which form a potential well of stability in all fundamental interactions, and not only in strong interactions.
Entanglement - is the only remote mechanism in the Universe for forming the force of interaction between the elements of matter, which is realized as a result of the interaction of the de Broglie toroidal gravitational waves at the common frequencies of the parametric resonance. This quantum mechanism of gravity is shown in a photo of phenomena observed in outer space (essay 2017) The reason of self-organization systems of matter is quantum parametric resonance and the formation of solitons https://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/2806.
For example, a molecule is a state of entanglement (interaction) of atoms at common resonant frequencies of the de Broglie toroidal gravitational wave complex (including tachyon waves) belonging to different levels of matter.
The result of the interaction of toroidal gravitational waves (fermions) can be determined by solving classical quantum parametric resonance equations, for example, using the Mathieu equations (as in radio engineering).
The solutions of these equations can be represented as a Fourier series, which physically represents a set of really existing toroidal gravitational waves confused in a system of matter elements.
I hope that my modest achievements can be information for reflection for you.
