Interesting take on it, and good luck.
By the way, on your specific point, I think the 'standard' reason for light's inability to escape a black hole is that the distortion of space-time is so great that spatial dimensions acquire a time-like character. That is, space gets 'tilted over' in the same direction as time. Now a fundamental aspect of time is that nothing can avoid progressing in it - unlike space, you can't stand still in it. So inside a black hole, space has that property too - everything is 'dragged along' through space to the singularity in exactly the same way it is dragged along through time outside the black hole.
That said, here is a link to a paper from a bunch of people claiming to be overturning the whole concept of space-time on which the 'standard' rests. I am extremely skeptical, but can't claim enough expertise to say they're definitely wrong.

Hope this is of use or interest.
Also by the way, to what extent have you studied standard GR? I can't get a sense of this from your post.
