It is similar to the Einsteinian curvature of spacetime simulating for the nearly flat space almost exactly the Newtonian "attractive gravitational force" to such a degree that people for centuries thought that massive objects attract each other. The reason being a similar math.
Many physical phenomana have similar (simplified) mathematical descriptions as others but of course it doesn't mean that physics is the same. The devil is in the details.

I wasn't implying that your underlying model was exactly the same as any of the many other models that come under the heading of "tired light", though the basic idea, i.e. an interaction between photons and other particles, that causes a reduction in the photon energy as it travels.
Given that, it may well be useful if you could explain why your explanation for the apparent cosmological red-shift avoids the
problems traditionally observed with this class of model.
