I see no flaws in it but that Tolkien hardly would have expressed it that way. For myself I've never thought farther than Tom being some kind of Ainu - Valar and Maiar just being special fellowships of Ainur, there surely are lots of other kinds of spirits being the innumerable thoughts of Eru. Then again, if Tom is the Music, and the Music composed by Eru, Tom is from the mind of Eru and an Ainu - same thing!
