Well, no. I don't present a model, but something I call an idea about a
fundamental mechanism.
The difference is this:
guess you describe a machine (e.g. a plane), than a model is a little
toy, operated by a remote control and the plane is the 'real thing'.
That is something very different. You can understand something, but are
not able to model it in a way, that enables predictions. The model, that
you seem to demand, would require the ability to predict future events.
But there is no guarantee, that this could be achieved. We certainly
would like something usable. But usefulness is a human category and
there is no need to assume, that this would be supported by nature.

To model something, this has to be understood first. This requires to
think about the subject and then try to build assumptions, why this
phenomenon behaves in such a way. Then one needs to build some kind of
simplification, that behave as the phenomenon itself behaves. Here you
see the mayor steps: first identify a problem, than think about how it
might work and then try to cast that knowledge into a usable form and
compare this with the observed behavior.
But the model works as different to the real thing as the toy compared
to the plane. And model-building is a different category of doing, too.

My aim is mainly the 'mechanics' and to describe that and compare this
with observed phenomena.

Without some understanding about the 'machinery' you are kind of
stumbling through the fog. One might possibly derive a fitting solution.
But this is not enough, because we would like to know, what this
solution is good for and why it is just this solution. So I write about
an idea for a relatively simple fundamental mechanism, that we could
find in various forms and sizes.
Even if I can't present some usable model about this, it would be
certainly worth to explore such an idea, because it could lead to a
better understanding and in that progress to better models.

Yes, that is Hubble's law and the basis for the big bang idea. It is the
velocity, that is attributed to redshift and to depth in space. If
reverted, these points had to come from the same origin, hence there was
a big bang. But in a curved spacetime paradigm this has not necessarily
to be the case, but it could be, that the light-cones are not all
parallel (what Einstein excluded) and we come to a more Minkowskian
interpretation. Than whole regions of the universe could bent away from
our sight, together with the apparent contraction of that region, what
we interpret (wrongly) as a black hole.
Since such an interpretation would allow relatively near objects to have
different redshift and to increase redshift in a time those objects
could not possible have moved the distance predicted by Hubble's law, we
had to accept the Minkowskian interpretation. This would exclude the
calender-like steady timeflow, that is one of the foundations of the
big-bang idea, but would need a more geometric behavior of time (What is
btw the title of that book).
So redshift cannot be attributed to velocity, but to the evolution of
spacetime itself, what is in contradiction to Hubble's law.
My personal interpretation is, that the universe performs on a very
large scale a shift of the timeline. That creates objects in it like
drops in wet air (in realtime). Since we have a certain context we live
in, the objects we see are younger in greater distance (due to the speed
of light) and were colder than. (According to my idea Jupiter will once
be a sun and form a binary system with our current sun.) But not only
the universe does this, but the celestial objects, too. With age we have
a shift of the timeline. Since we see actually our past light cone,
those objects will enter the hyperbolic section of that cone, what we
perceive as explosion.
The same mechanism I assume to happen on a very small scale, too, but
with -of course- much higher frequency. Than all these frequencies
superimpose to a fractal pattern with distinct scales, that all have a
different temporal context.

Space was a singularity but not energy. Energy was created in a Ring
Big Bang and the universe expanded.

No, the bit of math I have written stems from quaternion algebra. I Try
to justify the assumptions I made and connect this to known phenomena.

The math itself is difficult, but I gave some useful links to where that
is done. One of my favorites is from Jonathan Scott:
http://pws.prserv.net/jonathan_scott/physics/cfv.pdf

This one is from Diego Saa
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0711/0711.3220v1.pdf

This is about Lanczos' method to replace the Dirac equation with
bi-quaternions
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-ph/pdf/0112/0112317v1.pdf

(I use bi-quaternions and complex-four-vectors as synonym).

As written before: if you are interested in this kind of math, you may
just follow some of the links.

Unfortunately for you, no.
Ideas like what you are floating are not viable until they become even
the barest of usable models. Ideas are a dime a gross. Models are a
dime a dozen. Theories that can be tested are worth their weight in
salt. Theories that have been tested and appear so far to work are
worth their weight in gold.
As to your defense that you are not equipped to build a model because
you are not a mathematician. One does not have to be a mathematician
to have mathematical skills, and skills are both ancillary and
required for practice in physics. Likewise, competency in physics is
necessary for an architect, though an architect need not be a
physicist, and competency in organic chemistry is necessary for a
doctor, though a doctor need not be an organic chemist.
I'm afraid, Thomas, that there really is no short cut, and there is a
strong limitation on the contributions to physics by hobbyists for
this reason. If you are interested enough in your own ideas to see
them furthered, then you will be motivated to acquire some of the
skills needed to accomplish that. Take that as a word of
ENcouragement, not of DIScouragement.
