Yes, I entirely agree that this is what is required.

The recognition that the fundamental laws of physics must be non-linear is the starting point. This must be so or we could never observe anything as observation results from interaction which only happens in a non-linear system.

From non-linearity it follows that all standing waves must evolve with time. Any repeating wave in the universe that evolves must do this by developing harmonics which are exact frequency multiples of itself. That means that they are smaller waves. That leads directly to the larger waves losing energy, at a very gradual rate (the Hubble rate). That is the VMH (Arp-Narlikar).

That is the precondition for Le Sage gravity. If a standing wave is losing energy then the incoming part of the wave is stronger than the outgoing part. That imbalance is the push force. For those that do not know, you can only achieve Le Sage gravity through shadows caused by reduction in the flux that pushes other particles.

The rate of evolution of particles required for VMH is the same rate that causes gravity to work properly by Le Sage theory, so these two are naturally united by this means.

Because the starting point of my whole argument is a tensile aether that obeys the wave equation, the theory is in fact a LET with the recognition that c is a variable due to variations in the tension of the aether. For those that prefer to think in non-aether terms, this means that where the flux of the e/m field is greater, the speed of light is also higher. This is true in natural systems that we study, that increased tension causes increased wave speed propagation.

Milo Wolff has shown that the WSM (Wave Structure of Matter) idea will explain electron behaviour. There has been no demonstration of the rest of quantum mechanics. Clearly there is a lot to be done there, but there are some very interesting clues:

1. The cymatics experiments show a clear realistic basis for charge.

2. The mode of electron oscillation shows a basis for spin (and how spin half works).

3. Other particle properties are hinted at because there are a variety of other oscillation modes clearly available in standing wave structures which can provide a basis for other particle properties, e.g. it is possible to have the phase of the incoming wave vary around "equator" of the particle a number of times. I suspect that this number is 0=gauge particles, 1=lepton, 2=meson, 3=baryon. This will explain the disintegration modes of particles.

One of my objectives in putting these ideas forward is to interest young people in taking these ideas up and testing them. I think that there is the possibility of testing these ideas through computer simulation of standing waves of various forms. Human intuition cannot solve non-linear equations as was amply demonstrated with the Mandelbrot set. The means exists to fully test these ideas by computer simulation and see what forms are actually generated and how they behave. This affords a possible way to explain all quantum behaviour with principles that are vastly simpler than present ones, and truly fundamental.

These ideas do lead to a way of thinking about physics that is natural and free from mystical thinking that has entered the field in recent decades.

Would it be a fair summary to say that the answer to my question* is "Some pair-wise, qualitative consistencies might be possible, over limited ranges of physical domains; however, the prospect of a general, quantitative consistency seems entirely elusive today"?

* paraphrased: To what extent can consistency be shown among all the 4+ ideas, at least at the level of potential physical observables?
