Its a terrible picture and you said so earlier. You can't paint a dot on a ball and expect it to always be in the same place. As the balls move you get new CTEL and reference lines.
As the balls move you get new CTEL and reference lines. Get away from the keyboard and start understanding
Glue balls to a stick and paint dots, HAHAHAHAHAHA
Where did I say that Patrick's representation was a terrible picture?
That's exactly the correct relationship between the balls unless you rotate the balls & then the dots to mark the perimeter of the balls perpendicular to the line between the balls do move but only if you rotate the balls but... the relationship of the perimeters of the two balls perpendicular to the line between the balls does remain the same relative to each other on that horizontal plane just as the line from center cue ball to one of those perimeter points.
If positions one's self to look down the CTE line & then moves, one would then see that line from a different perspective of that line. But if one stands such that one can see the CTE line AND another line simultaneously that fixes one in that spot AND to move from that spot one can no longer see both lines simultaneously except from a different perspective such as sitting at the bar. One is no longer looking down those lines but instead is looking at them from the side, that is if one can still see the perimeter point on the OB.
Best 2 You & All,
