I would like to emphasize the first part of my previous comment. As I am a hillbilly occasionally cosplaying as a smart and educated person, I am incapable of exploring my statement further than just making the claim. And for that I must insist on referring to it as an hypothesis, unless someone shows me some math that it could actually work. And I hope anyone showing me said math brings the necessary crayons and puppets to explain it in a manner that I can understand.

    Same. Which explains why I (twice, lol) incorrectly used the terms "theory" and "hypothesis" interchangeably when those are totally different things in sciences.

    Unfortunately of course such hypotheses are extraordinarily difficult to actually test. However intuitively I do kind of like where you're coming from. I've always been fascinated by how everything that we conceptually are aware of has a sorta polar opposite that we kind of define it by.
