Manual home to a specific location was created by LoneWolfQuest
I would like to find out how to tell LinuxCNC in absolute terms that your position is x,y,z.
Not relative. I want to set the actual position of x,y.z.
I do not have limit switches to home.
I manually home to a custom jig at the center of the machine.
After I do this, I need to tell LinuxCNC "you are here".
Everything I've tried creates a corresponding negative relative offset.
Please help, and thanks in advance.

Picture? Drawing? anything that would help explain what you're trying to achieve.
If you are comfortable editing the ini file, try changing HOME_OFFSET and HOME, see if it works for you.
