Horace,
I added the following paragraph to my theory after
discovering a paper describing a Casimir cavity created equivalence.
An interesting concept, but, as they imply, a force on such a small
order requires heroic efforts just to detect. This is not a force
that can have anything to do with energy levels on the order of
ionization potentials, or even have any commonly detectable influence
on the Casimir force itself, or on the spectrum of any radiation from
the cavity.
The theory that Casimir cavities represent an abrupt equivalence
boundary is not new, In 2002 a paper "Vacuum fluctuation force on a
rigid Casimir cavity in a gravitational field" by Italian
researchers Enrico Calloni, Luciano Di Fiore, Giampiero Esposito,
Leopoldo Milano, Luigi Rosa discusses the possibility of verifying
the equivalence principle for the zero-point energy of quantum
electrodynamics, by evaluating the force, produced by vacuum
fluctuations, acting on a rigid Casimir cavity in a weak
gravitational field. The resulting force has opposite direction
with respect to the gravitational acceleration, Their proposal
indicates equivalent acceleration outside the cavity relative to
inside the cavity. This differential between inside and outside the
cavity creates the relativistic perception of frequency up
conversion. From the perspective of the Beck - Mackey work, the
ratio of fast to slow virtual photons appears to increase and has
fewer gravitationally active virtual photons. One could also simply
consider this duty factor -if time inside the cavity executes at
multiple seconds per second from our perspective then the earths
gravity at 9.8m/s^2 is divided down by the same factor.
