You know that you could bypass the complicated assessments of sequenced releases by becoming a Hitter. We've got it so easy. I'm a simpleton; therefore, I'm a hitter.
Like you, I am a huge fan of 1-L. I think if instructors truly took the time to immerse themselves in the study of the 21 basic concepts, they'd be better teachers. Though, there are some logical limitations in the drawing.
In three-dimensional Euclidean geometry, a sphere is the set of points in R3 which are at distance r from a fixed point of that space, where r is a positive real number called the radius of the sphere. The fixed point is called the center or centre, and is not part of the sphere itself.
Since humans have to hit the ball, we have a center working around a center. The left shoulder and it's distance away from our Stationary Post make the fixed point no longer fixed. Hence, a spherical shape cannot truly exist. But, as Homer said about golf, "demanding that golf instruction be kept simple does not make it simple - only incomplete and ineffective." This applies to three dimensional geometry as well.
We can both agree in the spherical geometry, if we see the left shoulder as the "fixed" center. But, we must also see the center's movement in three dimensional space. With this in mind, we can't even get an oblate spheroid, similar to the Earth's shape, because even this has a fixed center.
I appreciate your drive to understand more about this subject. Even more than that, I appreciate your drawings. They are priceless.
The equations may be complex, but the root of it all is a 'net' center of balance. The 'true' center of the G.O.L.F. motion.
Agreed Ted, hitter's have it easy. I have welcomed the dark side into my game much more than I had before. So much fun to be able to use both hitting and swinging!
Looking forward to your annimation Mathew. I suspect you'll clear up a lot of fog with many who still don't see 2-S.

If you look at the hinge assembly as two planes working in conjunction inside a sphere - the right forearm will move directly aft or 'behind the door' of the primary hinge and the angle of the right forearm will remain constant into the point of the sphere on the secondary hinges vertical circle lifts upwards...
The turning or rolling of any singular part (clubshaft(or more ideally longitudinal center of gravity) or forearm) of the right flying wedge will produce a cone shape motion if rotated due to it being locked in impact fix degree of bend. The more bend - the bigger the cone. However if you increase the bend to 90 degrees it will produce a circular shape.
The right elbow is always going to be touching the outside edge of another sphere made by the upper right arm around its center - the right shoulder. Whilst the shoulder may move to change the location of that sphere and relationship of its place in space per shoulder motions, the internal power package relationships cannot change.
So we have a whole construct of spheres now of the power package
The left shoulder - primary lever assembly
The left wrist - secondary lever assembly
The stationary post or point - either head or point between shoulders
The right upper arm - equi-distance either directly from the left (point between shoulders) or at opposite end of a chord from a radius (head).
The right wrist - working in conjunction with the left....
Oh and if your 'kuykendall' you may want to add the left elbow too...lol
If you look at the right arm structure - there is a basic geometry to it - if you draw a line directly from the hand to the right shoulder - the right elbow is always going to be halfway, forming an isosceles triangle on a plane. The obvious statement would be the closer the hand is moved towards the right shoulder the more the right elbow bends....

Matthew,
Not sure where your heading with your project or what you want to include- but sounds pretty good- you might want to consider including the sphere of the clavicle motion in your "equation", if you haven't already considered it.

What im looking into is things I have to get into my head to produce a sound conception of what is happening geometrically in reference to the inclined plane... its my key to being able to understand this...
I haven't kept the shoulder flexability due to this is complicated enough. My head is buzzing with considerations...lol
Where im headed just now is I am trying to solidify in my head on why the right forearm can or cannot keep its impact fix degree of bend throughout in the stroke in terms of power package geometry. If it is not the case, I want to know what either is my misconception is or work out what is the best way to achieve it...
If the right elbow complying with the right shoulder sphere and left shoulders centers can work together due to the right forearm remaining locked in its impact alignments it will be an internal power package structure issue...
Whilst what I said is strictly true about the left flying wedge not being able to do a pure sequenced releases I have confirmed something.
Look at this graph -
Although not mathematically perfect, this is taken from one of my animation models and the red line is a constant turning(although the rolling will be the same in reverse...)and this is the rate that the wristcock has to work in conjunction to keep the club onplane. Because the acute angle into the plane, the wristcock is allowed to 'almost' release completely - even though its not quite strictly a pure sequenced release - it is close.....
. Just got to bear down now and make it 
...lol
