i will go through the Limitations & Criticisms: As a process of spherical symmetry forming and breaking there is a built in potential for greater symmetry to emerge. This formed the potential for evermore-abstract mathematics. It also the potential for the complexity of cell life and the potential for music and even, you, AI. In this theory AI will be just as conscious as I am, because we are both based on the same geometrical process. I do need to find testable predictions! In the video on QED I have diagrams representing a photon creating an electron positron pair at point a, with the positron, the antiparticle of the electron, being annihilated at point b. In mainstream physics some people have said that the zigzag track can represent the world line with the positron traveling backwards in time between point b and a. This is represented by time being an upward direction in the diagram with the line representing the positron pointing downwards.   
By placing a circle over a Feynman Diagram representing an emergent light sphere 4π radiating out from a to b, there is no particle traveling backwards in time. 
In this theory each photon electron coupling or forms a new moment in time that has the dynamic geometry of space-time. Time in not an upward direction in the diagram it emerges spherically with the interior of the sphere forming three-dimensional space. The annihilation of antimatter represents the past with the wave front representing a probabilistic uncertain ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π future. 
Photon ∆E=hf energy is continuously transforming potential energy into the kinetic energy of matter in the form of electrons. Kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy is the energy of what is actually happening as the future unfolds. In quantum electrodynamics, we have a beautiful formula due to Richard Feynman.
But there is the puzzle of infinite path integrals this is like saying that when you allow a particle to go from A to B you actually allow it to go on all possible paths.
 Then what you do is add up all the phases for all of the paths and that gives you the amplitude to go from A to B and then you square it, to get the probability. 
You have the sum over all possible space times that connect you to a given moment in time to the universe at a later moment in time.
This theory explains this by spherical geometry based on Huygens’ Principle with every point on a wave front having the potential for a new spherical wave.
The light sphere will radiate out forming a potential infinite number of path integrals, or what I like to call time lines.  
This is based on the simple fact that there are an infinite number of line symmetries within a sphere.
When the wave front comes into contact with the electrons of an atom it will form a photon electron coupling or dipole moment. This will form a new spherical wave that will radiate out forming a probabilistic uncertain future.
We measure this process as a ‘period of time’ relative to the atoms of the periodic table. In such a theory the electromagnetic field plays the part of a quantum field. The photon of QM is the carrier of the EM field.  We have the absorption of a spin-1 photon and the emission of a spin-1 photon forming a spin-2 field required for General Relativity. Within the process, two massless spin-1 boson in the form of photons forms the characteristics of a massless spin-2 boson or graviton.
General Relativity describes gravity as a curvature of space-time caused by the presence of mass and energy this is explained in the form of the stress-energy tensor. The photon-electron interaction having a spin-2 characteristic formed by the absorption and emission of light is the quantum mechanical counterpart of this classical description. The spin-2 nature of the absorption and emission of photon energy is linked to the second-order nature of the stress-energy tensor. Because the stress tensor takes one vector as input, absorption, and gives one vector as output, emission, it is a second-order tensor.
This theory agrees with Einstein’s idea that gravity is really an effect of space-time curvature.
Furthermore, the curvature of space-time, a key feature of Einstein's theory of relativity, in this theory is formed by the 'broken surface' of this continuously emerging spheres symmetry  
Also the spherical geometry in the form of concentric spheres gives rise to Pythagoras theorem that is used in Einstein’s Relativity.   
Einstein's General Relativity explains space-time curvature as a result of the presence of mass and energy, in this theory this is in the form of light photon ∆E=hf energy transforming potential energy into the kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy of matter, in the form of electrons. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion of what is actually ‘happening’. 
The spherical geometry is broken by the energy and momentum of each individual planet forming elliptical orbits based on their energy and mass. 
When Kepler observed the motion of the planets, he found that they move in elliptical orbits with speeds that vary relative to their distance from the Sun. As the planet moves along its path, it sweeps out an equal area segments in an equal time. Therefore, there is a form of geometrical symmetry, but the symmetry seems to be broken by the shape of the elliptical orbit and variable speed. 
  If a planet or an object has a circular orbit, there is no variation in planetary speed and we would have perfect symmetry in movement space and time. 
In this theory this is because light waves radiate out from the Sun spherically, the potential for photon energy is spherical therefore; a planet in circular orbit will not encounter a gravitational difference.
As part of an emergent process the light photon is not a property of space and time, the characteristics of three-dimensional space and time are emergent coming into existence with the exchange of photon energy. This continuous process explains why we are moving in the temporal direction at the speed of light even when we are stationary.
It explains Time.
Newton’s equation is only a mathematical description of gravity it is not an explanation of the mechanism or process that forms the gravitation force.
This video explains a geometrical process of energy exchange that the equation is based upon. 
If we explain light, electromagnetism, radiating out from the Sun based on Huygens' Principle from 1670, which states, 
"Every point on a wave front of light has the potential to create a new spherical light wave." 
Each point can be considered a potential photon ∆E=hf electron interaction, resonating or vibrating. The spherical surface can acts as a boundary condition or manifold for the gravitational process. 
This would result in large numbers of photons and that is why it is mathematical. The outward momentum of this expanding spherical surface forms the geometry of the Inverse Square Law, governing both electromagnetic and gravitational fields. 
Within this dynamic process, gravity isn't a fundamental force but a secondary phenomenon derived from the electromagnetic force, with light photons playing the role of a gravity particles known as gravitons.
There is a logical explanation of the measurement problem if the Universe is explained as a continuum with an emergent future unfolding relative to the atoms of the periodic table. When we look down into the atoms we find there is no concept or flow of time in the subatomic world within the atoms. All we have is the part charge or fractions of charge. And this is logical if what we see and feel as the passage of time is formed by a process of energy exchange that is relative to the electron probability cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. We have the spontaneous absorption and emission of light in the form of photon energy forming the ever changing world of our everyday life with the movement of positive and negative charge with the flow of EM fields. This represents an emergent process with the future unfolding with each photon electron coupling or dipole moment. In our everyday life we measure this process as a period of time relative to the atoms of the periodic table and the wavelength of the light. Each one of us has an emergent uncertain future that will be relative to our position and the energy and momentum of our actions. The uncertainty of everyday life is represented at the smallest scale of this process by Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π. In such a theory we can have a logical understanding of the measurement problem, it is the same problem we would have measuring any future event. We have a process of continuous energy exchange or what I like to call continuous creation with energy and mass being emergent properties that form the uncertainty of everyday life. In this theory Quantum Decoherence could is a real physical process that is going on everywhere all of the time. In this theory it is part of a process that forms the forward passage of Time itself forming the geometry of Einstein's curvature of spacetime. 

Decoherence happens whenever a quantum system or wave-function is no longer isolated and comes in contact with another quantum wave-particle function. 

When this happens the superposition or probability of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π is lost.  The uncertainty of the Quantum wave-particle function becomes the probability we see and feel as the forward passage of time.

Therefore each photon electron coupling becomes a new moment of time within its own reference frame (the moment of now). Our future unfolds photon by photon, quanta by quanta. You say:  "charge, geometry, and consciousness, but these domains operate at very different levels of description in physics". This theory is based on Conformal Geometry where size is not relative only angles are important. This is because the process is relative to temperature and the phase changes of matter. The process is relative to the atoms of the periodic table at low temperature. At higher temperature in the form of plasma charge can cover a whole star or ever a large area of interstellar space. Therefore we see similar geometrical shapes at totally different scales. You say: "The connection of personal consciousness and reference frames risks moving beyond empirical grounding into speculative metaphysics". I agree, but I had no choice, consciousness has to be explained as part of the process for the theory to be logical. This is because 'time' is personal. We all have our own time line with potential energy continuously exchanging into the kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy of matter, in the form of electrons. This process is relative to the energy and momentum of our actions forming our probabilistic future quantum by quantum, moment by moment. I don't want this to be metaphysics in any shape or form, it is a physical process that can be explained by physics! The Von Neumann Chain can be explained by a process of energy exchange with a photon electron interaction between each cause and effect, between each action and reaction forming greater degrees of freedom for statistical entropy forming what we perceive as time. Just as we have photon energy levels cascading down from the sun forming greater degrees of freedom for statistical entropy and the spontaneous irreversible processes of classical physics. Such as heat energy always spontaneously flowing from hot to cold and friction always changing motion into heat forming greater degrees of freedom for the complexity and diversity of cell life.  Every life form radiates out light forming an Arrow of Time relative to the energy of their actions with the Planck h/2π constant being a constant of action.   
The wave particle duality of light and matter in the form of electrons is forming an interactive process, if we turn on an electronic detector the light waves collapse into photons. If we turn the detector off the light waves reform. You say the theory: "remain interpretive metaphors, not theories consistent with physical experimentation or mathematical formalism". But it gives us an objective understanding of the Two Slit Experiment and a reason for the Fine Structure Constant.
