Acceleration is an absolute measurement in hermetic isolation. 
Acceleration is a local property.  Three orthogonal laser ring gyros
and Bob is your Uncle.  Or do it mechanically with three orthogonal
microfabricated cantilever mechanical accelerometers.

Poison the well and every sip is tainted.  Hey stooopid - it cannot be
gravitation because time passage would be altered.  It cannot be
inertia because acceleration is an absolute measurement in hermetic
isolation.  Acceleration is a local property.  It cannot be anything
else because we've come to the end of the list.

How will you spin the universe to have consistency among three
orthogonal spinning wheels?

Idiot.
