That's a very interesting way of seeing it, Horace. If you observe
a rotating vector from a standing position, and supposing you can
only see the part of the rotating vector that is perpendicular to
your vantage point(that is, the part of it that is intersecting the
"slice" of reality you're in), what you'll observe from your
standpoint and observational limitations as a diminishing and
increasing(i.e. fractional on average) "force" or field strength,
can really(as "in reality"), be a rotation over an higher
dimensional axis. That is, you'll be always observing only the
cosine(or better, the mean of the intersecting vector's cosine) of
the real "force".
Projective (hyper dimensional) geometry is a good aid in these
cases, to form a mental model of the real situation.
In the case of pancaking, the effect is due to the relativistic
length contraction in the direction of the observed charged bodies
motion. It can alternatively be viewed as the cumulated effect of
retardation of virtual photon motion. In either case, it is this
thing that creates the (appearance of the existence of the) magnetic
field, and the changing magnitudes of the electric (E) and magnetic
(B) fields due to the observer's motion.
Interestingly, exactly the same effect occurs due to retardation of
the motion of gravitons, thus creating the gravimagnetic field, and
the necessity of an isomorphism between gravitational laws and the
electromagnetic laws. The lack of coupling, or at minimum the very
weak coupling, between gravitons and virtual photons in the
isomorphism necessitates that black holes exhibit magnetic fields
beyond the event horizon. I think the combined field pancaking
effect of both electromagnetic and gravimagnetic fields creates polar
jets from spinning black holes. Spinning black holes create mass
from the vacuum, and this mass is ejected in the form of polar jets
whether or not an accretion disk exists. This is described here:

I think black holes must retain magnetic fields due to constituent
particle spins, and thus must exhibit powerful magnetic fields beyond
the event horizon. Quadrupole radiation due to such magnetic fields
must create significant orbital decay of approaching black holes,
especially upon close approach. The magnetic radiation effects must
overwhelm any gravimagnetic radiation effects. The place to look for
black hole merger signatures is not via gravity waves, but rather in
the ELF electromagnetic spectrum. The data is already out there,
collected continuously for years ...
