Congratulations, Scott, for writing a decent story. It sounds a bit like my Big Whisper theory:
I developed this, kind of since 1981. I found mathematical evidence for it in 1992 and this was published in 2000. Then I communicated my ass off (including with Physics Nobel Prize winners) and not much happened.
The beauty of your story and the Big Whisper is that it is based on transformation, which means it is based on the empty position — or better: in light of matter, it is separation that wears the crown. We need space to transform one into the other. We don’t need anything else extra.
Matter is the transformation of pure energy as it existed prior. We can call it dark energy, too, if you wish, or use your term.
I hope you read my article to see how an inward motion in the prior state created three specific outcomes, with only part B becoming matter.
As for gravity, it can be seen as the synergistic outcome, the general outcome of the specific forces. Strong- and weak-nuclear forces, magnetic force and the electric force are all specific forces. Throw them in a bag and their combined outcome will always have one specifically directed outcome. If there is enough matter, it ends up pointing inwardly.
The abstract pyramid points us to gravity.
Cheers, Scott. You got a good brain.
