The center of space is gravity's geometry center. There can be more
than one geometry in space comming from multibody gravity sources.

In other words the apparatus is a self-contained system unaffected by
and independent of anything external.
It is ping-pong in an aeroplane, the speed of the ball is +/- 100 mph
seen from inside the plane and 500 mph +/- 100 mph seen on the ground
from outside the plane, and the speed of light is +/-c inside the plane
and v +/-c seen from outside the plane.
No betas or length contractions distorting the aeroplane or any other
hocus-pocus is required to explain it.

You got it backwards. SOME structural deflections, such as rotations of the
mirrors, will cause a compression/expansion of the fringes if tan(theta) differs
visibly from theta -- for visible light and 2 meter arms that requires a
movement of many thousands of fringes (any device that unstable is useless).

This is so because the fringe positions are determined by
tan(theta), but position of the image in the visible field
corresponds to theta.

But SOME structural deflections would not: a linear expansion of one arm will
appear as a variation in the relative phases of the two waves, generating no
compression/expansion of the fringes [#].

This is so because the difference in phase between the waves
enters as the argument to a cosine, which repeats indefinitely
with constant intervals between peaks. Note that with white light
a difference in the two arms' lengths of a few microns will wash
out the fringes.

[#] Wiener fringes are a related phenomenon, generated by a single
mirror and a monochromatic light source. They are routinely used
for spatial measurements by moving the mirror and counting the
fringes; millions of fringes can be counted with good lasers, and
they are equally spaced. Conceptually, considering a non-rotating,
monochromatic, Michelson interferometer, moving the mirror of one
arm directly outward would permit you to count the Wiener fringes.
So this type of "structural deflection" would generate no
compression/expansion.

An anisotropy in the round-trip speed of light would appear as a variation in
the relative phases of the two waves, generating no compression/expansion --
such anisotropy is indistinguishable from an orientation-dependent variation in
the arms' lengths.

Experiments that carefully control the latter show that the anisotropy is
consistent with zero, with an upper bound far too small to be visible in a
Michelson interferometer using a human eyeball.

Einstein's gravity continuum was his ultimate glory.

Later on you say the apparatus is in a fixed orientation relative to the surface
of the earth. This observation is proof positive that your interferometer is not
sufficiently stable. No reasonable cosmic effect could possibly behave this way.
And dozens of other, more believable observations do not behave this way.

Such a source is not nearly sufficiently stable for this. Hopeless.

Wood is also not nearly sufficiently stable for this. Hopeless.


> [...] earth's orbit component [...] 18.5 m/s

The earth orbits the sun with a speed relative to the sun of about 30 km/s, not
anything at all like "18.5 m/s".


> [...] The earth's rotation at this site's latitude is -0.138 m/s

You are located within 1 degree of the north or south pole???? That is
inconsistent with your aiming the interferometer to the east.

Hint: the earth's circumference is about 40,075,000 meters,
and one rotation takes about 86400 seconds.


> [... rest omitted]

Your results are merely instabilities in your apparatus. And your knowledge of
very basic facts is hopelessly bad.

Other similar observations with VASTLY more stable apparatus put an upper bound
on fringe shifts FAR below what you report.
