===Associated Analytic Expressions=== We define the following terms that are functions only of the four principal model parameters, <math>~(a, Z_0, \varpi_t, r_t)</math>, and therefore can be treated as constants while carrying out the pair of nested integrals that determine <math>~q_0</math>: <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr><td align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr><td align="center" colspan="4"> </td> <td align="center">Parameters evaluated for Figure 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\kappa</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\equiv</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ Z_0^2 + a^2 -

We should note that at both limits — that is, ''at'' the two values of <math>~x</math> for which the functions <math>~A</math> and <math>~B</math> have been evaluated, immediately above — the ratio under the square-root, <div align="center"> <math>~\frac{AC}{B^2} = 1 \, .</math> </div> Hence, at both radial-coordinate limits, the two angular-coordinate limits, <math>~\xi_2|_\pm</math>, are degenerate. Furthermore, we have discovered that the value of this degeneracy angle is exactly the same at both radial-coordinate limits; specifically, we find that, for our chosen test-mass distribution, <div align="center"> <math>~\xi_2\biggr|_\mathrm{deg} \approx 0.885198 \, .</math> </div> This means that exactly the same <math>\xi_2</math>-constant, toroidal-coordinate "line" intersects the surface of the (pink) test-mass torus at both the point of first contact <math>~(\xi_1|_\mathrm{max})</math> and the point of final contact <math>~(\xi_1|_\mathrm{min})</math>. In order to illustrate this, this particular <math>\xi_2</math>-constant "line" has been traced by a sequence of red dots in Figure 3. As just described, it passes smoothly through the points on the surface of the (pink) torus where the <math>\xi_1</math>-circles make first (small black-dotted circle) and final (large black-dotted circle) contact.
