Ghibbsa, To address one of your points.
My P-time theory starts by accepting EVERY part of relativity theory and adding to it rather than trying to change any part of it. If my theory is inconsistent with relativity in any respect I would consider my theory falsified. I'm not trying to replace relativity in any respect at all. I'm adding a necessary interpretation and context to it, which it itself implicitly assumes, though without stating that assumption.
