I believe that you have misunderstood the key part of the work by Lorentz. It does mean that the evolution of the system is sensitive to initial conditions, but what it doesn't mean is that you can ignore the gross conditions. To use the popular image, to predict the weather
x days in advance you may need to consider the beating of the wings of a butterfly on the other side of the earth, but you also need to consider the effects due to thermal forcing of the atmosphere nearby. In the gravitational context, the effects due to the motion of individual people swamp the effects due to any of the more distant planets.

The impact of gravitational cycles on complex living organisms is a gravitational effect, but this is mediated by a cumulatively adapted genetic response by the organism.

Presumably you mean that we have evolved to be sensitive to this cycle. You have yet to explain why this should happen. Please can you explain what adaptive advantage there would be for an organism to be synchronised to these cycles?

Hence the gravitational mechanism is indirect, mediated through complex cyclic structures, rather than a direct immediate effect of momentary gravitational force.

As per my comments above.
I would also like to know how you avoid confirmation bias in your analysis.
