The perfect “intercalation” between the up-down and the down-up light pulses at one place, alluded to above, is a very much easier experiment.
Its extension to a parallel horizontal experiment — both upstairs and downstairs with the right distance between mirrors to choose for a clearcut intermeshing also horizontally — is a straightforward possibility that you just triggered in my mind as being important to be done in reality.
Here, even making a clear-cut prediction as to what will turn out to be the horizontal distance that intermeshes perfectly downstairs (upstairs it is trivial) seems to be open to me right now.
Thank you for the dialog.
