What good is an oversized gravity-well an yway?

It has a moon that swings like a deep pendulum and causes a periodic bifurcation of the sexual anti-cypon force that is retrograde to the cyphon of time, that is pulling a triangular wedge into resolution with the crystalline pitch of the universe towards a virtual singularity. So a supermassive black hole like the earth gives a moon or a low pendulum and leverage at an angle that tilts the magnetic axis into the future, creating a wedge that opens into 3 dimensional spacetime, gives us sex, tides, and seasons.

No you can't just pop them in anywhere. The math and geometries don't have to support causality or the entropy of a continuum. So they don't exist in spacetime but you can't prove they don't exist. They might exist in the future if there is no causality or preservation of information or coherence of light in a void. So an extra planet might exist if nothing exists in the future, so it's impossible to prove it doesn't or won't exist, but we know it won't and can't if anything exists.

Is this not just the decimated asteroid belt that has no orbital period and no angular momentum? A star, for instance, in a pulsar state will eventually reach a period of angular momentum/strobe that is indistinguishable from a continuous stream of light, so that a solar system out of time attains a strobe period that equals the smallest cycle of time and is therefore in the causal flow of time, so the virtual 10th planet that is mathematically needed to pitch the solar system into the flow of time (toward some green median average of spectral light) never really exists anywhere for any amount of time with any angular momentum.

Nibiru is pretty much the best case scenario when it comes to the name. It's not a good name, but the alternatives are terrible. They'll probably end up calling it "Yuggoth" because astronomy nerds are still nerds and "Cthulhu, bro!"
