One of the interesting areas is how one goes, physically, from silk reeling in 2D to silk reeling in 3D. The current Chen Village teachings are of 2D practices and it is largely left to the student, or not, to figure out how to extrapolate those into fully 3D movement.
By contrast, Hong starts off with 3D movement and is, consequently, more physically demanding. Simply reading his book isn't sufficient to understand the physical mechanics of his method.
Were you able to find a full translation of Shen's book? I think it unlikely that either centrifugal or centripetal forces have much or a role in Taijiquan. I find it interesting that you want to write about the "3D model". How did you come by that interest, specifically?
Lastly, why "silk wrapping" rather than "silk reeling"?

This is why there are thick splotches and thin trail offs

It could appear as relatively harmless flowing movements. It also could be the extreme beginning or ending
of either Yin or Yang which expresses power in a non-linear fashion.
