It's relatively common practice in academia to make announcements about results while they're still in pre-print form (particularly given how slow the peer review process is for some journals).

They already have, as I said in response to your other version of the same question :)

Our preprints are currently in peer review (for different journals, I should add).
Nothing terrible has happened yet.

(1) We certainly do have formal derivations of Lorentz covariance and the Einstein field equations, given in detail here:

(2) The article above already discusses the derivation of the matter contribution to the Lagrangian density, the derivation of energy-momentum tensor, and Lorentz transformations for elementary particles.
(3) Both Hawking radiation and black hole entropy, and connections between our formalism and the AdS-CFT correspondence, are detailed here:

(4) We do not yet know how to do this.
(5) The quantum mechanics paper above makes, for instance, quite specific predictions about the location of stretched horizons around non-semiclassical black holes.
(6) (7) This we are still working on.

Cheers!

With respect, I don't think that our derivation of the conformal structure of spacetime, or of the Einstein field equations in the continuum limit of infinite causal graphs, is "hand-waving". See, for instance:

Thanks for your encouraging comments! There is already a proposed observational test for the maximum entanglement rate hypothesis (based on the location of the stretched horizon in the context of black hole physics), proposed here: https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/wolframphysics/Documents/so...

We can prove violation of the CHSH inequality, and hence compatibility with Bell's theorem, as a natural consequence of our formalism. See, for instance:

Or, for a less technical version of the basic idea:

I sure hope not ;)
