Wow. Impressive work. Thank you!
One nit:
> "moving matter generates curvature, curvature moves matter".
Doesn't stationary matter generate curvature also? (Though moving matter can generate additional curvature...)
Or am I missing something?

"Don't rely on slogans" is a good General Relativity slogan.

[1] assuming anything is moving at all; to get to that we will want to slice the block universe spacetime into space and time (and did that implicitly above), and not everyone will like how you did the slicing. Like if you wanted to make onion rings but someone has sliced up your onions with all the cuts parallel to this initial one https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/onion-... instead of this way https://www.pngkit.com/png/detail/12-121112_sliced-onion-png... You'll also want to plant values on one spacetime slice, and let dynamics evolve them slice-to-slice. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_value_formulation_(gen...
[2] > additional curvature
Can of worms. :)
