ABSTRACT: Attempts to unify Gravity Theory and Quantum Field Theory (QFT) under Loop Quantum Gravity Theory (LQG), are diverse; a dividing line between classical and quantum is sought with Schrödinger cat-state experiments. A Primordial Field Theory-based alternative is presented, and a gravity-based harmonic oscillator developed. With quantum theory applied at micro-scales and gravity theory at meso- and macro-scales, this scale-gap contributes to the conceptual problems associated with Loop Quantum Gravity. Primordial field theory, spanning all scales, is used to conceptually stretch key ideas across this gap. An LQG interpretation of the wave function associated with the oscillator is explained.
