This is a creative synthesis of a few familiar ideas (Penrose–Diosi intuition, time-dependent variational principles, and superdeterminism). But as a model it doesn’t hang together. If you interpret this as a story, say “approximate quantum gravity lives on a matter x geometry product manifold; when the Schrödinger flow wants to leave that manifold, pick the closest product-like pointer state, and bias the lottery to match |a|^2”, it’s internally tidy. As a theory that is local, parameter-free, and predictive, it’s not there: - the state-space restriction is inconsistent with known gravitational DOFs - the “derivation” of Born’s rule is circular - the collapse is enforced by global endpoint selection rather than local dynamics - and the one quantitative lever (the “Penrose phase”) depends on gauge/UV-sensitive self-potentials Interesting essay; not yet a model you can falsify without importing the very knobs it claims to avoid.
