Edwin,

Doesn't solve the duration problem, as in?
Consider it from my point of the dimension of time going future to past, rather than traveling the dimension from past to future: The clock ticks. Duration isn't it moving along a fourth dimension to the next tick, but the effect of that first tick fading away, like ripples on a pond and then preparing the action of the next tick. Duration isn't a vector, but a cumulative process. It is only when we try to think of both ticks in some form of order that the vector and the linear conception of duration arises. The hamster isn't going anywhere. It's just spinning that wheel.
As for whether particles are waves, or waves are a bunch of particles, it seems to me that particles, as they are described, amount to tiny vortices and are more a function of polarities, rather than what we might think of as mass, but I haven't studied it enough. My approach to physics is peeling away as many layers as I can comprehend and knowing when I'm getting lost.
As for the fuzzy part, think of a Planck unit: Presumably it is the smallest possible measure, but in order to actually be a measure, we would have to define its parameters, which would require an even smaller measure, no? So it would have to be fuzzy, right? It just seems to me that when you push the concept of measurement to its limits, it naturally breaks down. This seems to be the problem with Quantum theory.
As for being a Unitarist, is that based on the concept of unity, or unit, because they are profoundly different. Unity is a state of connected equilibrium, while a unit is a defined set. Which is not unified, because it differentiates between what is inside and outside the set. Confusing these two is the primary fallacy of monotheism. The unified state of the absolute is basis, not apex. It is source, not ideal. A spiritual absolute would be the primordial essence of life and being from which we rise, not a moral and intellectual ideal from which we fell. Good and bad are not a metaphysical dual between the forces of light and darkness, but the basic biological binary code. Amoebae are attracted to the beneficial and repelled by the detrimental. What is good for the fox, is bad for the chicken, yet there is no clear line where the chicken ends and the fox begins. Life is a process of creation and consumption as it bootstraps itself upward. Between black and white are all the colors of the spectrum, not just shades of gray.
Organized religion was originally polytheistic. That is because gods were what we would call memes today. Basic concepts to which the larger group accepted, such as the singularity and status of the group one is immersed in, geographic and astronomical features, seasons of the year, cultural activities, such as celebration, war, death, sex, sleep, illness, etc. All the myriad connections between these concepts naturally lead to a pantheistic network in a mythology of allegorical relationships. This pantheistic wholism is difficult for many to grasp today, let alone thousands of years ago, so it was natural to have this state defined as a unit and then to give it some form. The adult human male being the logical default option, but as an ideal it overlooks the regenerative process by which the old die and are replaced by the next generation and so monotheism doesn't naturally recycle itself, as the various forms attest.
I tend to avoid religious discussions, since minds tend to be set, but this seems similar to your views, though from a sociological, rather than physical perspective.
Also, a Big Bang model of the universe is unit based, not unity based, since it posits the entire universe as a single unit and the mind is naturally drawn to the possibility of others, as is arising in multiverse proposals.
Ask yourself a simple question about geometry: Is zero, in geometry, the initial point, or is it the blank state?
By and large, zero is generally considered the initial point, but as I argued with dimensionless points, this is not logically so. In reality, zero in geometry should be the blank state. This neutral field is the fundamental unity. It is the absolute of space. Geometry doesn't create space with all its dimensions, but only defines it.
I think with your conscious field theory, you are adding an emergent property by ascribing it volition. Yes, we cannot truly have physical consciousness without the manifestation of will, but that asks: Will against what? That is the initial division. We as mortal, mobile beings cannot function without divisions, in order to distinguish, to create, to progress, etc, but I think if you really want to jump off into the void, much like the eastern mystics, you need to see even beyond volition, beyond the attraction of the good and repulsion of the bad. Not to say you want to stay there long and you won't come back quite the same, but it does put everything in its context.
You are thinking of consciousness in terms of the point, the singularity. What I'm asking is for you to think of it in terms of the unbounded state. It isn't unity in the sense of a central entity, but a network of connectedness. Much more of the original polytheistic entities in a pantheistic context. Tribal gods and guardian angels, Gaia and Apollo. Coming and going, birth and death. The fact is that while we might recognize the sense of self in others, that doesn't always make it a connection. Especially if these entities have reason to compete, since there is not a sense of fundamental loss, should one be lost, as the self always wins and becomes stronger. As they say, the winners write the history books. It is a bottom up process and every living being is a complete line of connection back to the origin of life on this planet, but in every generation, many who start life, fail to pass it on and their connection is broken. Not trying to be harsh, but this is a discussion of how the laws function. This is why you need to distinguish between a unit and unity.
I like your idea of consciousness as a field that is stronger in the human brain and weaker in less complex contexts. You compare it to gravity, but another comparison might be focus, as in a lens. We are a focusing of this field of consciousness, compared to a tree, which would be rather unfocused consciousness. In a sense, these are opposite, but complementary descriptions, since gravity is a concentration of mass, while focus is a concentration of energy. Gravity would represent the multiplying structural order of thought, while energy would be the expanding vitality of raw beingness.
