Does there anywhere exist a community of folks you might work on this with who aren’t derisive of this approach, woefully uninformed on the specifics (I think that’s broadly the issue here on LW; we’re not selecting for physicists of the sort you’d like to talk to even if there are a lot of them here), or cranks?
My experience has been that it’s very helpful to have supportive folks who can at least a little bit appreciate what you are doing and offer feedback, even if you are going super deep in some direction such that you are the expert in ways that means they will often be mistaken even if they can help you avoid making obvious mistakes.
You might check out Eric Weinstein’s podcast, “The Portal” and the associated discord server. He has a theory about this, “geometric unity”. And while I haven’t been active on the discord server, I think they’re working on this as well.
If you want to be invited to the discord server, PM me and I’ll send you a link.

If physicists of the sort I’d like to talk to are around at all that’s good enough for me.
