Something occurred to me just now, while considering Paul Dirac's equation describing the electron. Given that only spacetime exists within a vacuum, and that virtual particles erupt on occasion from that spacetime, the photons emitted when the matter/antimatter pair of particles mutually annihilate must extract the energy and mass they possess from spacetime. Such extraction of the fundamental base of spacetime would constitute decreation, and may be another potential mechanism whereby this inversion hypothesis might be tested, as well as used to create the DED, if there is a way to induce virtual particle production.
If the hypothesis is correct, mass erupting from spacetime would be reverting from spacetime to mass, and preserving consilience would require that black holes also similarly erupt spacetime. This seems like a handle that might enable inversion to be controlled, if such can be done.
Edit: I note that the measurement of the expansion of the universe is effected on the macro scale, and if that expansion is effected by myriad local events, of equal probability, then overall the expansion would appear to be not only homogeneous, but nonlocal, or globally effected. Since particle pair production is shown to occur locally, yet to be everywhere equally probable, it's possible that the creation of spacetime might also be effected similarly, rather than globally. Given consilience, that seems likely to be the case.
To further consider the mechanism(s) by which creation of spacetime and mass might be effected, I have taken a look at Murray Gell-Man, whose work on The Eightfold Way of subatomic particles reveals much about mass. Quarks' properties are fundamental to the expression of mass in our unterverse, and all the rest of them. The forces expressed by quarks have properties such as three different colors, left or right spin, strangeness, top, and bottom. Murray reckoned these particles could be useful, and revealed some means of manipulating them, such as converting gluons to mesons. The Strong Force is highly local, unlike other forces, so Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) seems an appropriate vector for effecting mass/spacetime inversions in a controllable 'region'. Given that mass and spacetime seem to spontaneously invert, if such inversion of spacetime to mass can be effected at will, and reversed after the passage of a transport, an FTL drive would be the result, eliminating the distance, and time taken to traverse it, between two locations.
QCD, because of it's locality, would be highly desirable as means of manipulating inversion.
