hi
I am interested in the same thing, since I am new here. I agree with your description of the process which also means a cross-section at any time which is the same as tomography used in a PET scan.
One expects then for PET scans and MEL rotation you descibe, that their mathematics is related to the Heisenberg theory called the uncertainty principle, from the 1930's.
I hope you find the help on your question.
Also good luck with maya .
