B Precision Representation of Vectors Using a Spiral on a Sphere

[Protea Grandiceps]

Does this new convention "avoid reference to elevation?"

Not sure if you still find this relevant, but yes, it would define elevation. It would complete reference to a 3rd dimension after (1st-D) in terms of no. of "orbits" and (2nd-D) in terms of % of distance from NP to SP since I'm assuming that we're still in a sphere of unitary size (r=1). In order to express 3D entirely within the realm of "orbits" it might be a good idea to express the 3rd-D reference in terms of total distance along the "orbits'" path from NP to SP since we would effectively be defining the radius of the sphere beyond r=1.
