A freeper who will remain un-named made an assertion that using a different reference would change the nature of the forces, and that the forces themselves were the result of a particular system of reference.

No. If you look carefully at what I wrote, the bodies orbit no matter what the reference point. The "forces" I programmed did not care what coordinate system was used. The final result was the same(Euclidean universe), orbits.

I see what you’re getting at for the frame of reference you were using.

I’m not talking about what you wrote, relax!

I just said that you had missed what the issue was.
