Dear Professor Nicholas,
Structure is important. "What is the geometry of a gravitational structure?" should be an appropriate question. We get into infinities when we use point type structures instead of finding or deducing the appropriate geometry. Mapping to an event horizon as a spherical surface is topologically equivalent to mapping to a point since we can reduce a spherical surface to a point...where the sphere has zero radius. The next simplest available geometry is a toroid and we can avoid infinities using such a geometrical structure.
The Pound-Rebka experiment has another interpretation that one should consider. Instead of considering red shifting being a function of a photon coupling to a gravitational field we might think of a gravitational structure as having a property that we didn't previously think about existing. I'm suggesting that a gravitational structure produces a strong charge separation effect and I am further suggesting that this charge separation effect is predictable from the simplest axioms of quantum vs. quantum motion and Maxwell's equations and known physical data (observational and experimentally derived).
