OK, I think it is becoming clearer to me. From all of the
discussion I'm also given to understand that the resulting authority
is always cumulative. So, is the following correct?

USRPRF | USEADPAUT | Resulting Authority
-------|-----------|----------------------------
*USER | *NO | Current User Profile
*OWNER | *NO | Current User + Object Owner
*USER | *YES | Current User + Caller's Authority
*OWNER | *YES | Current User + Object Owner + Caller's Authority

That reflects my understanding; where "Caller's Authority" refers to the adopted authority from the prior invocation levels.

P.S. That is a /simplified/ view, in a sense; referring only to methods not achieved via not-yet-resolved pointers. That is because any invocation can use a pointer into which the authority has already been established; authority that was set by any other [non]adopting program that may no longer be in the stack.
