Much as you flatter yourself in this view, simplicity is anything but the 
case. Indeed, if there is any sense buried beneath all such complexity of 
speculation,  you would be able to boil it down to an extract containing a 
few fundamental assumptions and the conclusions you'd derive from them. Most 
especially, you'd be able to show how those assumptions and conclusions 
might be borne out empirically and made mathematically demonstrable.

Having done a word search on your article one finds that you have nowhere 
addressed a matter that Einstein in the elegance of his concision managed to 
make so simple that even a caveman would be led to wonder, "Why can't S.D. 
Rodrian do it?"

IN short, how can you possibly be discussing a timely new view of what makes 
gravity tick, without somewhere addressing the most fundamental element of 
the prevailing theory, namely, Einstein's earthshaking _principle of 
equivalence_ showing that gravity and inertia are in every way identical and 
the same?

One sees that you find easy access, with none but the greatest aplomb, to 
Einstein's 'elevator in space ' thought experiment while you manage no 
mention whatsoever of his equivalence principle which stood as the very 
raison d'etre for it!  Thus it comes as no surprise to find you, on your 
elevator ride, plummeting into a black hole (of infinitely weighty 
speculation) while Einstein's took him dancing the light fantastic, straight 
up to the top floor of that experimental verification he had predicted for 
it in the stars.

I don't deny that there may be something quite novel here in what you are 
saying, but except you can find a way to say it with your feet planted 
firmly on the floor of that elevator of the Equivalence Principle . . . 
Dude?  You ain't goin' nowhere but down, down, down toward that big old 
spring at the bottom of the shaft, as you be getting 'smaller and faster' 
(just as you love to speak of it) during this long drop on a broken cable.
