While looking into Rascal's postings, I noticed you mentioned there are gaps to be filled. Creating quite an opening for the "God of the gaps" I would say. In both yours and his, there are gaps to be filled because you leave out half the picture. Though, perhaps you could better describe your model pictorially, as I have numerous times, to help me "wrap my head around" what you are getting at.

Please note that absolute variable is a contradiction in our contextual terms here, Lloyd. If you say that c literally varies, it can't remain literally constant. Alternatively, zero-point position (absolute) is the only constant that makes certain the uncertain variables of zero-point energy (relative infinity). Again, it's not a matter of reaching zero, but realizing that there is no freedom of motion (no give and no gaps) to your FS.

To wrap our heads around this, consider someone looking up at the south pole proclaiming that the earth is rotating clockwise; while someone else looking down at the north pole is proclaiming it is rotating counter-clockwise. Which way is it rotating? Both or neither?

We require relative frames of reference and set laws that dictate rotation according to a flow from the poles. Yet, for every force there is an opposite counter force, which at Planck reverses the direction of flow. Ultimately, fairly simple to realize that north becomes south, and south becomes north.

This above is where you mistake my position, Lloyd, and continue to proclaim that motion is constant regardless of the perspective (one perspective). It is relatively accurate, and fair enough, but does not take into account both perspectives simultaneously which is what the absolute universe is forced to do.

Further, another way to picture it might be considering the revolution of earth around the sun. Imagine it revolving the other way from another perspective, and consider the exact meeting point of both perspectives. What would be the result?

To me, it would be absolutely no motion at all without relative forces influencing the inertial frame. The true "rest mass" remains zero, even if we include the "worlds within worlds" scenario, the membranes scenario, big-bang scenario, anti-universe scenario, or whatever scenario you feel toots your horn.
