I second Burgess Laughlin's comment that "Persistence is a virtue. Those who are not writers or editors or publishers do not understand the enormous amount of time required to think, research, organize, write, edit, submit to criticism, proofread, and publish." It took Ayn Rand two years of intense work to complete Galt's speech--about 13 days per page! Highly creative work that breaks new ground and solves difficult problems in original ways is very time-consuming even for the greatest geniuses. Stephen Wolfram's principle of computational irreducibility goes some way towards explaining why. The problems you are interested in are of the first order of importance. I hope you find a way to continue your research soon. Best Johann Ron

Congratulations! I second Burgess Laughlin’s comment that

“Persistence is a virtue. Those who are not writers or editors or publishers do not understand the enormous amount of time required to think, research, organize, write, edit, submit to criticism, proofread, and publish.”

They made little progress. Locke realized that they had to go deeper, down to the roots, down to understanding what man can know and what his limits are. He set off to find answers. About 18 years later, he published the first edition of <i>An Essay Concerning Human Understanding</i>. When Locke died in 1704, he was working on a fifth edition of his expanded work, one of the most influential works on epistemology of modern times. Persistence is a virtue.
