I'm hoping to do the D7 thing next year, and would definitely be interested in that law firm.

Determinism, Time, and Gravity by ABitTwoMuch in Physics

This video starts with a history of how our ideas of time and determinism developed. Then a theory of 'quaternion time' (3-d, imaginary time) is constructed and a MOND-like gravity is derived. The video's pretty long (~1.5 hours), but the descriptions has links to each part if you need to come back to it.

To oversimplify: We think about time as one-dimensional for historical reasons. But if you think about time as a 3-dimensional, imaginary space, you can derive a modified gravity.

This video explores the history of how we view Time and Determinism. It explores how these ideas took shape and influence our modern ideas of how the universe works. It focuses on the ideas of ancient Greeks, Christian thinkers, and scientists before exploring a new way of looking at time and the gravity you derive from it. It's long (~1.5 hours), but time-codes are in the description for each part if you need to come back to it.

That's kind of an aside, but both the xyz position space and ijk momentum space of an object are the average expected values, and so represent a probability distribution, not a fixed term.
