The "double-arc instability", which appears to be a physical description
of the Moore "tether-cutting" cartoon.
Note the emphasis here upon the reconnection of a coronal current, as
well as a magnetic field.
This picture therefore also might embody the
Melrose double-loop cartoon,
except that the cartoon presented here does not explicitly require
four current-injection sites to be present after the fact of the flare.
Since the authors have a keen interest in flare prediction, the post-flare
state might not interest them too much.
