Is there a paper or book that describes this discrete minkowski multiverse
in more detail?

I don't understand your difficulty. Why don't you just take your thesis
and all of the posts you've written for this list, put them into some
logical order, edit, and publish?

Thanks for the list of prerequisites, BTW. I'm going to read Three Roads
to Quantum Gravity, Quantum Logic in Algebraic Approach, and Mathematics
of Modality, and get back to you.
