Anyway, lets take v/c 1 for your sync.
and move on..
No physical change occurs in rods when they change speed.
This is a non-essential element of your construction, which looks to
me very similar to the slow-transport method of synchronizing clocks,
a good idea but like most not a new one.
Therefore it follows that the LH end of the rod will be aligned with one clock
at exactly the same 'instant in absolute time' as the RH one is aligned with
the next clock.
By subsequently adjusting each adjacent pair of clocks and repeating this in
sequence along the line, it is thus possible to synchronise them all
absolutely.
Absolutely? Use a better word, or leave that word out. Nothing is
absolute. I can always define my own time system different from
yours.. clocks have errors.. etc..
These clocks are synchronised so taht there measurements dfine an instantaneous
universe.
If that isn't absolute what is?
What is more, they are absolutely synched in all frames.
Well, temperature and rotation are more absolute, for starters. And
abstract arithmetic such as "1+1=2". Even there however you cannot
have completeness. By "absolutely synched" you really mean "synched"
or "somewhat better synched for a OWLS experiment". Its simply a word
best avoided in this context.

A true OWLS experiment is now possible using these absolutely synched clocks.
Not quite... how did you measure the speed of the rod?
You are very confused.
The accuracy of the rod speed doesn't matter for the purpose of absoutely
synching the clocks. That is the beauty of my method.
Yeah, I'm confused all right
How much time elapsed between the laser hitting clock 1 and clock 2?
Isn't that important for your construction? Otherwise you have only
synchronised n groups of clocks (not all of them), where n is the
number of clocks in the rod distance.
However a null result will not reveal anything because a true OWLS experiment
requires that the source and observer move relative to each other.
Or motion of both together w.r.t. the "aether frame"...
