Yoda - you wrote-: "In Pivot Strokes, the Lower Body -- specifically, the Hip Action / Component #15 -- pulls the Loaded Power Package to the Release Point with no independent Motion of the Arms. Only then -- after Delivery / Component #23 -- does a pre-selected procedure Trigger / Component #20 the Release /Component #24, i.e., the lengthening of the Third Side (Bent Right Arm) of the Triangle Assembly."

I agree that you are correct with respect to pivot strokes (ala Ben Hogan's swing). However, I presume that DG is asking the question whether those triggers can trigger the downstroke while the hip action is reactive to the trigger action. This is apparently the position taken by Peter Croker in his swing style. Here are two links to his swing ideology.

I think that there is a similarity between Peter Croker's push action from the top and Tom Tomasello's right arm throw action.

Do you think that the PC/TT swing methodology is not a viable method of executing a golf swing?

I have certain sympathy for the PC/TT ideology and it comes from my experience in executing a stone skipping action. I think that there is a great deal of similarity in the right arm movement in a stone skipping action and a full golf swing. I can perform a stone skipping action two ways and they both work. i) I can start the right arm throw from the top and have the pelvis near-instantaneously react to the right arm throw or ii) I can start the stone skipping action with an initiating pelvic shift-rotation movement that is near-instantaneously followed by a right arm throw action. The difference is very small, but I find that my stone skipping action action is slightly smoother when I perform the stone skipping action using technique number i). Couldn't that analogy also apply to a full golf swing? Could some golfers execute a full golf swing better by triggering the downstroke with a right arm throw action (throwing the entire right arm flying wedge intact) while having the pelvis react to the throw action?

Jeff.
