My vision is returning and could turn out to be

You have been asking for the mechanism for storage
and return of the interference energy in the system.
That mechanism is standing waves. Are you aware that
standing waves store energy and return it to the
system every 90 degrees?

More correctly, the energy is stored in the distributed
capacitance and inductance of the transmission line.

In the examples being discussed,
there are standing waves inside the source.

There is no capacitance or inductance in the source to
store energy.

For the 1/8WL
shorted line, there appears to be 125 watts of forward
power and 25 watts of reflected power at points on each
side of the source.

Not if there is no transmission line.

With powers given in average values, the circuit that
you should be using for your instantaneous power
equations is:

* * * * * * * * 50 ohm
----50-ohm----/\/\/\/\----50-ohm----
* * *125w-- * * 100w * * 50w--
* * *--25w * * * * * * * --50w

I will be very surprised if the instantaneous
powers don't balance.

Perhaps. But I don't need more examples where the
powers balance. I already have the one example where
they don't. And it only takes one to disprove an
hypothesis.

Your previous problem is that you were using net
power values on one side of Rs and component power
values on the other side of Rs.

But there are no component powers in the source. It
is a simple circuit element.
