restricting to stars ... within 100pc of the Sun

By doing so you've selected this tiny ball of
stars (compared to the size of the galaxy) all in
essentially the same part of the galaxy, all going
essentially in the same direction around the center
of the galaxy.

I am looking at the essentially random differences in orbit, due largely
to differences in eccentricity and the alignments of the axes.



It seems to me, then, that essentially _all_ you
are seeing is proper motion of those stars with
respect to the sun,

I am not sure if you know what proper motion is. It is the visible
movement of a star over time, measured in milliarcsecs per year. I am
converting that, together with radial velocity measurements into
velocities in km/s relative to the Sun. Now there is no a priore reason
why, on any axis we look out into space, there should be a stronger
alignment of velocities along that axis than there is perpendicular to
it, both for stars approaching and for stars going away, but that is
what must be happening if the standard model is right.

I've been studying,
http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0604047

and focused on the "Alf & Beth" diagrams therein,
very clear, and see the cosmological expansion factor
in Eq.(2.5), that is the basis of "teleconnection".
((correct me if I'm wrong)).

You further stipulate Alf & Beth are in communication,
via photons. Let's suppose Alf & Beth are at relative
rest, defined as the Number of wavelengths in that
communication is constant. That's basically how
the interferometry of the LIGO apparatus works, so
let's permit a hypothetical "arm" of an interferometer
to span from Alf to Beth.

For some rigority, that Number of wavelengths or
cycles can be defined by a "proper time" invariant
like S^2 = g_uv x^u x^v, with S being that Number.

So here's what I understand, while N remains constant,
the frequency of that light used to communicate between
Alf & Beth will reduce, and thus the wavelength increases,
due to the hypothetical cosmological expansion.

Is that ok with you?
