I have actually some problems downloading it (probably bad connection), so my first comment only about what you have written here.
A similar idea goes already back to Lorentz, who has observed that if what holds usual matter together is also the EM field, then rulers and clocks would have the same symmetry group.
See also my preliminary version of an introduction into relativity based on the Lorentz ether.
So, for me this is an "old hat". Unfortunately, most mainstream physicists are completely unaware of this.
