I'm not aware that he has (he has written papers critiquing the MWI, which I have totally failed to understand, though). I quizzed him recently on the issue, and he admitted he didn't have a mathamatical model showing how space (or spacetime) emerges from quantum interactions. This just puts him on a par with Edgar, or myself, who also do not have such a model, in spite of thinking it might be an interesting approach. The one I am aware of is the paper by Moreva et al, which is based on Page and Wooter's model (That's Don Page, who was an early contributer to this list). The arXiv identifier is 1319.4691 - I skim read it on the plane on my way to Eurpoe for family holidays, but haven't yet had a chance to seriously study it. It is, however, just a way getting time to emerge from the timeless Wheeler-de Witt equation by addingin an observer - its certainly not the full Monty!
