Simple question: What do you hope to accomplish by writing things that
are purposefully experimentally indistinguishable from SR when you
have no underlying theory to derive them from?

Is the second postulate of SR a first principle?
Yes? Is it a first principle to claim the speed of
light does not depend on the speed of the source,
but then we will have to deal with time dilations and
length contractions, in order to be able explain
phenomena? Well, if it is so that c' = c, is a first
principle from which SR can be derived, then
c' = c Exp(-v/c^2) is also a first principle from which
my model can be derived, and time dilations and
length contractions will not be required.
