I haven’t been able to go so far as to quantify the red shift size of the gravitational redshift.

The second can be written, in shorthand, as 'the Hubble relationship'. It too is well constrained, now out to z~6, and includes data which lead to 'dark energy'.

I haven’t been able to go so far as to quantify the red shift size of either of the identified red shifts.

How do the two relate to each, quantitatively, in the ISU/EEP idea?

They relate to each other because the photons are traveling through the energy density of space, and the EEPs the make up the energy density of space are moving in response to two things. They are expanding as the energy density is being equalized with the energy density of the greater universe, and they are responding to gravity.

There is at least one other gravity-photon effect that is well constrained by observation (and which is also predicted by GR): the Shapiro time delay.
How does the ISU/EEP idea account for this, quantitatively?

I haven’t been able to go so far as to quantify that effect.
The content of the thread is about how the ISU/EEP idea differs from mainstream as to causes, i.e. what causes the expansion and what causes gravity.
So to be clearer, the content in my thread is about the causes. The first attempts at quantification of the EEP included in the Infinite Reach thread where they are explained. I tell exactly on what basis the initial calculations were made and I made those calculations based on “at rest” particles. I have not used those initial values to quantify any effects that we observe in the universe.
There is no content that is falsified because I have not done that kind of quantification is there? Falsification should be focused on the content that I have provided. Do you have any questions about the various causes I have predicted?
I have found that the mainstream stops short of saying what causes the expansion. In the ISU the expansion is caused by energy density equalization taking place between the high energy density released by the burst of a big crunch and the low energy density of the greater universe surrounding the crunch. I refer to this as responsible speculation.
The separation of matter is caused by the expansion of the energy density of space as equalization takes place. Matter forms from the expanding energy density and therefore all matter is moving apart at the instant of formation. Matter formation takes place abundantly and almost simultaneously across the entire expanse when the expansion has progressed to the point where it reaches the ideal density for matter formation.
Gravity is caused by the flow of EEPs that are captured in the electron and sloughed off as photons. There is a continual process of photon sloughing that perpetuates the low energy density surrounding protons. EEPs continue to swarm that energy density differential.
These ideas have to be considered speculation, but it is responsible speculation that would change GR if true. It might not change the accuracy of the GR predictions and EFEs, but with the existence of a greater universe with different energy density environments, GR would have to be revised, and space time would have to be reconsidered.
