It sounds like you have done a lot of research and experimentation in trying to understand the challenges of decentralized systems and how to improve their scalability and consensus mechanisms. Using other decentralized systems in the universe such as genetics, societal norms, and colonial organisms as reference points is an interesting approach. Your idea of using transactions as a mechanism for defining resource reallocation in a consensus mechanism sounds intriguing, and it's good to hear that you have done local simulations and talked to experienced people in the field.
It's understandable that you want to minimize community interactions and reliance until you have a solid solution, and that you want to be careful about how and when you release it to the public. It's important to be mindful of potential risks such as illegitimate dupes that could cloud market trust in a new consensus method. It may also be a good idea to consider the market demand for a better long-term consensus solution before launching it, as it can help you plan accordingly.
It's great that you are thinking about all these aspects carefully before launching your new consensus method, and I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
