I have in mind my own case, when the author has neither a scientific degree, nor a scientific supervisor, but there is a scientific material in the form of a Preprint Математические заметки о природе вещей
What specific actions can you advise?
Dear Igor,
Yes, it is possible to to get a grant to write a book even when the author has neither a scientific degree, nor a scientific supervisor. As I see it, you have to inform the publisher of your intention. Then, they will ask you to send a book proposal. If they find it interesting, they will send it for a peer review system. If reviwers agree on the publication, then you can aply for a grant to an appropriate funding institution.
Good luck for your publication.
Kind regards,
Orlando
Thank you, Orlando. So, the first step is the choice of a scientific publishing house and the submission of an application for the publication of a monograph. As far as I understand, the choice should be made in favor of the English-speaking version of the book.

Dear Igor,
I you suggest I timely topic and you proposal is written in a clear and clean English, I do not find any reason for the Publisher to laugh at you intention. Of course, when one submits a paper or a book proposal we should hope the best and antecipate the worst. When we think so, we are prepared to not become frustated in the case of a rejection.
I hope the best for you.
Best regards,
Orlando
Dear Orlando,

However, it is difficult for me to take the first step, because I think in Russian, and for translation into English I use a computer translator, and therefore the necessity of publishing a book will be difficult for me to justify before the publisher. However, we must try.
Believe me, after using a computer translator, you will need to pay a real person to rewrite all the text to make it understandable and correct.
Don't let us discourage you. Your title: " Math notes on the nature of things" looks intriguing.
Ian, you're right. For example, here this passage Chapter "Quantum world versus creation" of the draft book "Mathemati...
needs to be finished by hand. And thanks for the kind words, really I also need some kind of motivation.
Maybe some publishing houses may do that but you have to have a good plot to your book for them to accept it
