I am not completely familiar nor comfortable with
this notation. Do P and Q have essentially the
same definition (evaluate the given polynomial)?

Note that the a, here has nothing to do with the a
vector in x(t) = P[a0;a1;a2;...aN](t) ...
Anyways, this F[a](t) would be composed of a new
xf[a](t) and yf[a](t), but yf is not a function of xf.
I am instead interested in G[a](t) which is derived
from xf[a](t) and yf[a](t) such that yg[a](t) is a
function of xg[a](t). Specifically, where there are
multiple yf values corresponding to xf values, I
am picking the maximum yf value to be yg.
I tried to show this in the plots in my earlier post.
Ideally, I would have liked to have presented the second
and third plot from my original post in this thread together,
but I do not know how to do that.
