I think is the other way around: are the particles (and bodies) that have
similar attributes as light photons, the difference is that light travel
locally at C, while for matter C is the limit.
Particles (and matter cluster of particles) can be considered soliptons
(standing waves) at rest or moving in the ether.
In the ether particles (soliptons) have their mass and inertia and assume
according to their speed vs the ether a "potential" Kinetic energy.
The kinetic energy is the energy stored in the body in the wait to give
it back to the rest of the universe, in case of lack of interaction, this
kinetic energy is, in a long run, given back to the ether through a
dragging down process.

While I am perfectly in agreement with you about the "relative absolute"
up to the point in which I consider a good approximation to use a
local inertial frame as a preferred frame (and Esynch the local clock to
obtain local symmetries) and use this frame as reference for a limited set
of local bodies, this cannot allow you to ignore the font of all the laws
and physic behavior and attributes of the bodies (and of the local set of
bodies) these comes mainly from outside.
Here are the local characteristics of the local ether that if known would
tell you the exactly contribution of local effects and outer effects
in determining the behavior of the local bodies.

If the ether exist we cannot put it in the set of the bodies, for we don't
know the exact contribution it gives to determine the local phenomenon:
i.e. the one way speed of light is determined mainly by the local ether
and here we can only get results that are at best just approximations.

I conceive the ether as a cumulating local effects of infinite various
interactions, the only indirect notion of its presence is the trivial
fact that light has a fixed speed limit in vacuum and this is extended
to the behavior of moving bodies.

The ether could be a interface between our universe and a
background undetectable essence of unknown nature.

In any case is save to use it, doing without it is refuting a preferred
frame where light is isotropic and this is a conceptual error,
unfortunately there is no way to prove anything about this boundary
issue.

The acceptance of the ether is preferred for the same reason why
one should accept the existence of a God (in the Pascal wager):
it is safer to think God is there than think the contrary, this does
not tell you anything about the real nature of God.

By accepting the existence of the ether we don't commit ourselves
to know what is the real nature of it, we just choose the safer side.

Science is (also, to me mainly) the attempt to logically explain the way
nature works, a viable model as to first explain then predict, the GPS
for the little I know uses prearranged clocks and they are daily corrected,
they would work perfectly just by anchoring them to known sources
at ground so I cannot tell what is what.
Your model uses the center if mass of a set of bodies as reference: is there
a special reason why the center of mass acquires a this privilege ???
i.e the center of mass of the Earth if includes the Moon is very different
from the one that excludes it, or should it include the Sun ??? how is
the center of mass of the HIS shifted because of the Sun ?? A
satellite orbit is affected from the variation of the density of the
Earth surface, does the center of mass shifts accordingly to the
various characteristic of the Earth surface???
If all these accidents make a change what is the use of such
simplification???

Your HIS model is an viable approximation in the lack of knowledge
of the totality.
