Have you considered subjecting this to expert scrutiny by submitting to a journal? That's probably better than getting hot takes on HN by random technology enthusiasts, skeptics, anon experts, and trolls.

Realistically I don't see how this could be submitted to a journal as-is.

I'm sure you could take this material and write a couple papers out of it, but right now this is a 60 page word document with commentary on a variety of topics from memory market economics to quantum computing.

It's full of self-congratulatory language like "The transition is not an incremental improvement within the existing paradigm; it obsoletes the paradigm and the infrastructure built around it". Alright, I'm happy to believe that this work is important. But this is not the neutral tone of a scientific article, it reads like ad copy for a new technology.

I'm sure there's interesting physics in there, but it needs a serious editing effort before it could be taken seriously by a journal.

It's under peer review at Physica Scripta (IOP) since March 25. HN is for visibility, not validation.
