And you never presented evidence that a theory needs to be more than a testable explanation for how something works.

Also BS on your part.

Unless you elaborate it significantly, a mere "testable explanation for how something works" is at heart an hypothesis, as described above.

A theory is 1) generally a broad and general proposed explanation or set of explanations that 2) has or have garnered enough supporting evidence to become either a) widely accepted, or b) at least widely considered to be worthy of further investigation.  In other words, it needs, 3), to have a reasonable likelihood of being correct.  Your pile of verbiage fails on all three counts, with the most interesting failure being at the first level, since your definitions and your writing are so god-awful that it is unclear what you are proposing and whether it explains anything.
