It can't explain initial separation of synchronized clocks. Maybe there is no initial separation in your model. If so, what has this in common with the usual TP? I figure other models are similarly flawed. If you could describe the model, I would be motivated to look at it more carefully. But apparently you are unable to do so, so I am not inclined to waste my time with it.
