I'm looking for scores that use either unique tunings, additive rhythms, polymetric, polyrhythmic, aperiodic, a lack of clear distinction between sections, process music, avoids repeating sections, or uses irrational juxtapozitions of rational motives or phrases, has only an A section but no B section. Who could you suggest that might be in the IMSLP? Thanks

Why not just look at IMSLP's inventory for that time period? Probably a lot of the scores will have the characteristics you're looking for.

On the left sidebar click Browse Scores > Time Period, then in the chart click Modern (1945-present).

This isn't foolproof -- if the composer wrote anything post-1945 then all pieces by that composer will show up even if the individual piece is much older -- but there are a lot of results to choose from.
