notions like Kepler's banishment of epicycles and as
after about Bode's law
The _TitiusrCoBode_ law (1766/1772) was proposed much later than Kepler (16th century), obviously. And to date nobody understands why it approximately
works for the Sol System:

then as for inverse square the Keplerian geometric way
Yes, Kepler's idea was that the "harmonics of the world" would be
represented by inscribed Platonic solids to determine the distances between
the orbits of the Planets. However, he was scientist enough to accept eventually that, given Tycho Brahe's detailed observations, the circular
orbits that resulted from that would not work: ellipses were required.

then that the Newtonian "System of the World" after
the Keplerian "System of the World" or Harmonisches Mundi
_/harmonices mundi/_ (Latin for "_harmonics_ of the world")
after the Muslim "System of the Heavens"
Doubtful. Kepler was a devout Christian who sought to discover/understand "God's design of the Universe".
and that, that, in the solar system today,
the force vector of gravity always points at the
source not the image,
What is that supposed to mean?
so, it's quite Newtonian
Only approximately, and that is where General Relativity fills the gap in
our understanding. So far, only GR can explain, and predict very precisely, the additional motion of the perihelion of orbits as, 200 years after
Newton, eventually became measurable with the orbit of Mercury.
and even Galilean the current state of the solar system,
No.
while it is yet so that space-contraction-linear and space-contraction-rotational are in effect,
Nonsense.
as with regards to a notion like "fall-gravity" of course.
I.e., Einstein's later "attack on Newton" is a matter
of mechanics itself as much as about relativity and
mass-energy-equivalency, getting into why the gyroscopic
effects as of the kinematic up after "pseudo"-momentum
and the space-contraction-rotational, has that Einstein's
second and much-less-well-known mass-energy-equivalency
derivation, about the centrally symmetric, helps establish
the concern overall as, "un-linear", for a potentialistic
theory and sum-of-potentials and revisiting the Lagrangian
the severe abstraction the mechanical reduction.
Pseudo-scientific word salad.
Sadly, your mind is still very confused.
