Although the initial failure mode of unlinkable sets is correct in principle. It doesn't take the fact into account the checking algorithm is 'global coordinate/position based', while linked sets can be rotated over general angles. A new linkability check over a valid linkable set, which is rotated (causing a different order in the prim selection of the linkability check) can cause this set to become invalid.
Linkability checks over already linked sets should be performed using the coordinate system as established by the rotation of the linked set, instead of a global coordinate system, to prevent a rotation of a valid linked set breaking the linked set. Damanios Thetan

New algorithm overview graphic?
Kelly Linden and I added some attempts at better ways to explain the algorithm in a more-intuitive way. I think there probably needs to be something graphical, though. Assuming I transformed the equations correctly in the 'visualization' section, I'm thinking something like
- Two identical complicated-looking prims with bounding boxes with nice numbers, like 1.5x2x6 (diameter: 6.5)
- Show the bounding boxes as shown by the 'stretch' tool
- Replace the complicated-looking prims by boxes
- Add a translucent bounding sphere around each prim
- Add translucent spheres which are triple each bounding sphere
- Add translucent spheres which are one more meter around
- Show that the spheres interact, and can be linked
