Just because you can't weigh it, or accelerate it, does not mean it
does not exist.

Aether and matter are different states of the same material.

The material has mass.

This is arguable. It is a working definition for a number of cases,
but it's a bit of a stretch to say that this is THE definition that
characterizes mass.

But 'kmv^2' does not convey an acceleration or a weight, so this seems
to fly in the face of your own definition, no?

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand this claim. So if something
is proceeding at constant momentum in the absence of an
electromagnetic field present, and there is a change in a
gravitational field that affects this thing, the inertia that governs
the acceleration response to this gravitational field is somehow
electromagnetic in origin?

Electromagnetism and gravity are both states of the aether. Matter
displaces the aether and the aether 'displaces back'. The 'displacing
back' is the pressure the aether exerts towards the matter. The
pressure the aether exerts towards the matter is gravity. Maxwell's
displacement current and Michelson's "aether displacement to the
electric current" are also both states of the aether.

Blah, blah, blah, blah-blah-blah, blah. More the same vacuous tripe.

Arguable? Then argue. Provide some other means of observation that
does not depend on indirect inference.

It's not 'my definition' and while the equation is consistent with
systems exhibiting inertia its a derived, not fundamental expression.
IOW, it works because of our definitions.

As you 'should' know all so-called material systems actually consist
of charged entities, Quarks. Last I check charges manifest electric
'fields' that are believed to be infinite in extent. In an
equilibrium state (what you called constant momentum) these fields
configuration are consistent. Perturb the equilibrium, and the fields
are 'forced' to change, when electric fields are accelerated they
create a reactive counter EMF. Hal Puthoff and others have realized
this also.
