The Living Theory of Quantum Gravity: Part 1

It has been ten days since I presented my The First Draft of the Theory of Quantum Gravity and eight days since I presented its supplementary information in The Mathematics and Experimental Data Behind Quantum Gravity.
Since then, I’ve been hacking away at the main paper and the supplementary information, trying to make the paper easy to read and hard to object to. Today, I’ve reached the point where I’ve corrected both texts once and added a bunch of references and appendices.
I still haven’t written the experimental section, and I haven’t checked the appendices, so the paper isn’t ready at all. Additionally, I’ve inserted the references as footnotes, as I’ve found it easier for my workflow. However, for the final paper, they need to be transferred into their own References section.
All in all, the text is far from perfect, but I would say it is much easier to follow than before. To aid in this, I took a TL;DR policy to my text. If I was reading the text and noticed an urge to skip that part, it was a clear sign it was TL;DR, or “too long; didn't read”. In this case I highlighted the text, wrote TLDR RW next to it, and rewrote the whole text until I didn’t feel compelled to skip it (RW = rewrite).
The main text is still 4300 words, because it has to be. However, the supplementary information has swollen to 32 pages with appendices. And I know it will swell quite a bit because of the experimental section.
Here are the manuscripts:
The main text:
And the supplementary information:
Because I don’t know how many versions I will write, I’ve decided to only show the latest version. So, if you see a dead link, this isn’t the most current version available. You’ll have to click the “All posts” button in the top left corner and browse for the latest post.
While this text isn’t ready for publishing as a preprint, I’d be more than happy if you shared/linked this text with people who might be interested. It nevertheless is already good enough to be viewed by critical eyes.
This time my mandatory picture is an actual photograph of lignin hexagons that are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. Well, I say hexagons but are better word might be hexagonish.

P.S. I find it almost impossible to imagine that after five and a half years of relentless work, I’m almost ready with both the theory of lignin and the theory of quantum gravity. Well, with quantum gravity it’s only been three and a half years.
