Are you familiar with Whitehead's metaphysics? Your ideas about POV seem close to his "actual occassions". "Process & Reality" is the most difficult book I've ever read -- in fact I stopped at about the 3/4 mark. And while I am officially agnostic on all metaphysical questions, his framework is among the most compelling I've encountered, along with some schools of Buddhist philosophy. Anyway, I don't recommend reading him per se, but maybe like the SEP entry on his metaphysics just to get a sense if there are indeed parallels between your thinking.
Goodness. Read Whitehead when I was 15. Wow… on a family trip to Germany…. When was the last time I thought about him… blast from the past, that is a pro memory probe… not claiming any understanding as 15 yo BTW, I will have to look him up again. That's 45 years ago.
