It sounds like you want the intersection point of the 2nd circle with
the plane of the first circle.  I guess that should be exactly one point
unless they're in the same plane.  However, I don't see how the rubber
band gets back to the first circle without violating your rules.  Is
there another pulley/circle you're not telling us about?

Ah Ha!  Apparently there were TWO other pulleys you weren't telling us
about.

What you really need is to find a way to find just one side of the "rubber
band". Say, pulley A to pulley B, "Side one". Then you could use the same
function to determine pulley B to C, side one or two, and so on...
Right?

Yes.  lsynth only deals with 1 peice of stretched rubber band at a time,
which is why I was keeping those other three pulleys a secret from Don.
