google groups doesn't let me quote the usual way, so I'll answer you by
numbers.

1) I start with a very basic definition, of "union of points in space"
only to define next concept, the field. So the definition of matter as
I introduce it is actually the 2nd definition, which makes more sence.

2) Cannot be changed in the sense suggested by SR/GR.

3) I didn't consider it necessary. Collection of fields is obvious
answer. A bowling ball is harder to accelerate as it has more generic
fields than a golf ball. I also did not expect field lines to cause
confusion. The real fields are symmetrical 3D fields (take for example
electrons/protons). I can't draw 3D symetrical field on 2D paper.
Non-symmetrical fields comprised of several lines are for
presentational purposes only.
