I just read your article on light and dark, so I thought I'd extend my own thoughts.

Here are three links. You don't have to read them, but they provide some of the basis for what I'm thinking;

The first is an interview with one Carver Mead, who was a famous computer theorist and scientist, about a book he had written. He is quite heretical about some of the basic precepts of modern physics. First and foremost that energy is primarily wavelike and that particle/quanta are an artifact of the detection devices and our bias toward physical objects.

The second is a paper pointing out that one way light does redshift over distance alone, is as multi-spectrum wave packets, as the higher frequencies dissipate faster.

This would mean that instead of observing photons/quanta of light that have traveled billions of lightyears, we are actually sampling a wavefront, getting back to the quantization of light as an artifact of detection.

The last paper argues exactly that, a threshold, or loading theory of light.

Which then goes to the issue of time, that I keep raising, that energy goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall.

Which then goes to the fact that consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions, thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past.

I would also point out that one of the big issues bedeviling physics is, "Dark Matter." That there is far more gravitational effect, than mass to explain it.

Yet what if we were to flip it and consider the properties associated with mass are simply intermediate effects of a centripetal dynamic, potentially inherent to waves, that they resonate and synchronize, thus bonding inward.

One of the points Mead makes, is that lasers are synchronized light waves and if you consider that anything actually falling into the black holes at the center of galaxies and not simply burnt up and radiated back out before reaching the center, is essentially shot out the poles as quasars, which are like giant lasers.

Which then gets back to the question of god and how to define it. Since definition is limitation, so any effort to even point in the general direction creates an effect that leads to strings of follow on effects.

Which naturally develop that centripetal dynamic, effectively gravitational center of thought and belief.

Then we end up in wars over our concepts of god, as each body of believers sees their ideals as the only true center.

I'm thinking I'm going to cross post this to your article.
