Gilbert, I still haven't figured out your theory, or if it was yours at all, but of some other entity at some level wanting be to be written into the fabric. I intended to give your thoughts some time today, but I'm still laying out a certain annual report.
I think Jaakko Hintikka has thumbed your records. He has said that in describing a possible world we are free to choose the universe of discourse it is designed to apply to. Thus possible worlds are always so called 'small worlds,' One Umberto was weaving the same plot: "The same holds for fictional worlds: in order to lead its readers to conceive of a possible fictional world, a text must invite them to a relatively easy 'cosmological' task."
Other than this I know not by now. I must protect my own autonomy.
