My theory has it that a tiny force keeps exerting it's influence on a Photon. Why doesn't the Photon keep accelerating?
It needs a force to start moving.
Does F = ma apply, so that zero mass and finite force imply infinite acceleration?
all models are wrong, but some are useful
How do you know that?
Nope. A photon is already moving at c upon its creation.
Can you prove that
protophoton
They must exist otherwise there is no mechanism for a photon to reach lightspeed.Physically they exist if the fields are different from Maxwell's Equations close to the emitting surface. I have no equipment to test this.
Then you must provide a mechanism whereby they start to exist at light speed. I can provide one.

I can change my model to give the correct answer.
Why not just use the "old" model which already gives the right answer?
Quite easily since your "model" is essentially 2 sentences long.
The old model does not give a mechanism to accelerate photons to light speed.
It is actually longer see attachments:
