Well, I hope you win, Thrift, because why not you, and I am sure the money would be nice. Beyond this, when I was thinking of substrates, I was thinking of Randall Koene's (neurobiologist guy) and his studies on the brain. Or, more crazy, that you have hypothesized some magical way to program the false vacuum of space, somehow (conjectural-wise), like a paper from ARXIV? Anyway, good luck with your paper.
