Horizontal Figures in Pictographic Barrier Symbolism

A horizontal animal or person can often be placed in the horizontal plane of a pictogram, or at the bottom barrier of a pictogram.

Image A is trying to illustrate how 3 tori can overlap each other, and if our-reality is the middle circle, there is a higher-density torus partially overlapping us, and a lower torus as well (although, it may have higher-density than us).

I made 2 copies of image B, and I make a yellow color bar go through the horizontal plane of image E and F. A green color bar goes through image G and H.

Is it weird on image H for this symbolic-human (his name being Jesus is not relevant to this particular post), weird to be stepping on a horizontal body? Or why is a horizontal animal being stepped on on image G?

Is it weird on image F for a human horizontal pose in the middle of the pictogram? Aligned with the brim of a cup, which is considered the barrier between one reality and the next. This can't be "literal", it must be symbolic.

In summary, these weird placements of horizontal animals and human bodies can make more sense if you relate them to the barriers that ancients were presumably taught, when half-overlapping tori are the underlying structure.
