From my reading of the proposed model it is in fact static space i.e. not expanding. But galaxies are receding from each other with unchanging velocities.
The paper talks of a common point of divergence. However, an observer at any point, not necessarily the point of origin, will still see other galaxies moving away from each other. The cosmological principle, as anything else in Science, is not immutable. However, I see no reason why the cosmological principle can't be applied to the current state of the universe. As all galaxies have moved away from the point of origin, it is no longer part of our observed universe. If galaxies extend beyond the event horizon in every direction, then our universe is what we see - seemingly the same in every direction.
