I started with is papers at reasearch gate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Stoyan_Sargoytchev https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Stoyan_Sargoytchev It triggered my curiosity, but I did not understand the model from it. I understood that the perspective is quite different, but I got many things wrong (my fault). Then I started to read the main book I linked in the other comment. One advise: Start at the beginning and read linear. After some weeks/months it will start to click and things start to make much more sense then. After that you can jump in the book and it will not be confused. If you just jump into the middle because you are looking for an easy answer for something of your interest, it will just be confusing. One of the reviewer on amazon seem to have done that, that's the 1 star opinion without any quality argument. There are two possibilities to explain the physical world: complicated or complex (sorry easy answers will not work). This model takes the complex way, nothing is really complicated in this model, but the level of detail is enormous compared to the default perspective. We normally thing the neutrino is small, in this model it's huge.

Thanks. It amuses me that somehow that the jury is out on the relationship between general relativity and quantum mechanics – up to the point where the basic primitives of reality are considered unknown, and viable candidates include miniature knots or networks of foam – and yet people are quick to assume the ontological nature of dark matter, a primitive ostensibly responsible for an effect on gravitation.
