I don't understand your quandary at these facts...

Regarding the neutron star proximity you speak of, since we aren't near any neutron stars it isn't presently tenable to speculate on how that would effect Point 2. |
I believe I am familar with the equivalence principle. I am not questioning its results, just the interpretation of them. Inertial mass provides a resistive and opposite force to acceleration. You imply that inertial mass is 'generated' by acceleration and is not a measurement of matter.
1.. Do you believe inertial mass to be a function of matter?
2.. Do you accept that resistance to acceleration could be 'wading' thru the Higgs field?

Your 'action-at-a-distance' effect you imply is caused by 'the generation and long distance projection of electricity and magnetism'. My reference to a Neutron Star which displays a gravitational field, would seem to contradict your statement. We may not be near a Neutron Star physically but since when has that stopped us from theorising or experimenting with the data?
A Neutron Star, presumably, has no charge yet still can create action at a distance.
3.. Can we be clear on one thing. Do you accept any part of Quantum Mechanical behaviour, or do you intend to maintain the continuity of matter as governed entirely by Newton-Einstein maths?
This link will take you on a journey to a Neutron Star. May the classical force field be with you.
May you return safely in order to answer my three questions.
