I didn't get your interferometer, and the additional axis just isn't necessary, as I explained in another post, just now.
as for your "disproof" of Liebniz's *vis viva*, i have already asked you to investigate the nonlinear aspects of the deformation of clay. I mean, if you are going to try to shoe-horn a succesful engineering ideal into a linear equation, you should be able to *show*, that this deformation is just linear, sort of like Hooke's law for springs (which everyone knows, is just an approximation that is useful ... or, at least, they once would have learned that in Phyiscs 1, from a God-am textbook, and I'm sure that even Hooke knew, it was just a "first-order approximation").
