But my scenario was that it's *not* moving, that it started off
moving
but then decelerated until it was at rest relative to absolute
space.
Isn't anything that's at rest relative to absolute space "not
moving",
by definition?

The problem is everything has aquired motion through space at
creation. That is what forces are about.

Call it original motion or the starting gate so to speak.

Look at gravity; it is everywhere and it moves objects through
space-time; and there's space's motion of expansion which is like
anti-gravity.
