could we merge this with the other thread discussing almost the exact same proposal please?

As for the proposal itself, you seem to be misusing and abusing a lot of terminology which is making it difficult to understand you.  Also If I am interpreting your proposal correctly we would end up with nearly 200,000 EVs which seems just a bit excessive to me.  This proposal seems like an overly complex and convoluted way to combine the district method, IRV, and the proportional method.  I'm also not really clear on what your goal is other than to replace the current system.  And as Verily, Lief, and I stated in your other near identical thread, IRV alone would be enough to solve the popular vote conundrum.  The district method is also a great plan in theory but gerrymandering makes it a horrible idea in practice and the proportional method just doesn't work well with small states.
