If you move apart two clocks in appropriate opposite directions, according
to your theory, one will have greater absolute motion then the other and so
one will tick slower than the other, and so not be in sync.

Haven't you read your own theory?

Nope .. why would I say something as silly as that?

No .. it is adjusting the ticking rate of a clock to so it will be observer
as the same as earth clocks.

It's rate is adjusted to match the rate of earth clocks.

As I said before you can have one-way isotropy...but the value for the
one-way speed of light is distance dependent. That's why Physicists
refuse to report the value for the one-way speed of light when they
tested for one-way isotropy.

Nope, Seto, you are wrong. There is no evidence that the value for
the speed of light is distance dependent, nor is anything but constant
in time and space.

And in fact we have considerable evidence that the speed of light is
NOT distance-dependent. This comes from measurements of planets and
comets that vary in distance from the Earth observers. If there were a
distance-dependence to c, then there would be certain measurable
orbital artifacts due to delay gradients in light from them to here.
In particular, one such artifact would be an apparent violation of
conservation of angular momentum. Since this is not observed and would
be REQUIRED by distance-dependence of c, then we can rule out that
distance dependence.

Then, once that is ruled out, then it becomes impossible for one-way
speed of light to be different than the two-way speed of light,
because the speed is also measured to be isotropic.

How do you know? The one-way speed of light never been measured.
