I have read around and I still can't really tell what Westergaardian theory is....I don't want to go and read a textbook to figure this out, I would rather read ~5-10 pages of exposition and big-picture

The best I can recommend is the following article:

Peles, Stephen. "An Introduction to Westergaard's Tonal Theory".In Theory Only 13:1-4 [September 1997] pp. 73-94

It's a rather obscure journal, but if you have access to a particularly good university library (or interlibrary loan), you may be able to find it. Failing that, if you PM me with your email address, I can send you the text of the article (without figures, unfortunately).

The defunct journal's web site is open access. Text (search for Peles). Table of contents of page by page scans; first page.
