You have yet to offer any predictions that are logically and validly based on your model and which are capable of being falsified and thereby offering the possibility of genuinely testing any of your hypotheses.  Unsupported and logically invalid assertions are not predictions.

Also note that a theory of operations neither constitutes a scientific theory nor substitutes for operational definitions.

OF COURSE it is up to other people to determine whether your stuff qualifies as a theory.  Poor demarcation, common perception, and occasional scientific misuse notwithstanding, a theory does not become a theory simply by someone proposing it and claiming it to be a theory, but by passing some initial tests and the field therefore taking it seriously enough to consider it a theory.
