Yes, I understand that your idea is that the aether is displaced by a mass.
You don't understand the idea. If you did you would know not to say 'aether is displaced by a mass'. Aether has mass. Aether is displaced by matter.
That still does not seem to answer my questions. It could be that there is something about displaced aether that you are implying and I am missing. Instead of just capitalizing the word displacement you could go just a bit into depth why displaced aether is so important realtive to regular aether.
Here are the questions again.
You have said space is made up of aether. You have also said that the density or concentration of aether is constant. It follows that there should be no halo. If we look at some region of space, according to your idea, it is made up of aether that has mass, as a galaxy passes through that region of space it displaces the aether, however based on what you have said the aether around the galaxy will not change, except that we can call the aether around the galaxy 'displaced'. The density and concentration of the aether has not changed so what is the halo?
The state of displacement of the aether.
Here is the answer again.

"In a simplified view, a "field" in physics may be envisioned as if space were filled with interconnected vibrating balls and springs, and the strength of the field can be visualized as the displacement of a ball from its rest position."
So, the further the ball is displaced from its rest position the stronger the field. The only thing which exists in the Universe is the Earth. The Earth is moving through a field which is filled with interconnected balls and springs. There are balls and springs where the Earth will be a year from now. The balls and springs are relatively at rest as the Earth is so far away. When the Earth gets to the balls and springs a year from now the balls and springs will be displaced from their rest position.
A 'field' in physics is space filled with aether and the strength of the field is the displacement of the aether from its rest position.
The aether which exists in the center of the Earth is being displaced by the particles of matter the Earth consists of. This aether is more displaced then the aether which is 10 light years away from the Earth. If the only object which existed in the universe were the Earth then the aether 10 light years away from the Earth would be more at rest than the aether connected to and neighboring the particles of matter the Earth consists of.
At rest means not displaced. The more the aether is displaced by particles of matter the less it is at rest.
Each of the plates in the Casimir effect displace the aether. The displaced aether which exists between the plates is pushing back toward each of the plates which causes the aether displaced by each of the plates which exists between the plates to offset. This aether is more at rest than the aether which is displaced by the plates which encompasses the plates. The reduced force associated with the aether which exists between the plates along with the displaced aether which encompasses the plates which is pushing back and exerting inward pressure toward the plates causes the plates to be forced together.
What occurs physically in nature in the Casimir effect is the same phenomenon as gravity.
There is no such thing as non-baryonic dark matter. Aether has mass and physically occupies three dimensional space. Aether is physically displaced by matter.
Displaced aether pushing back and exerting inward pressure toward matter is gravity.
The aether which exists between the Earth and the Moon is displaced by both the Earth and the Moon and is pushing back toward the Earth and toward the Moon. This displaced aether offsets and cancels each other out to some degree. This aether is more at rest than the aether which encompasses the Earth and the Moon. The aether which encompasses the Earth and the Moon is pushing back and exerting inward pressure toward the Earth and the Moon and keeps the Moon in orbit about the Earth.
