Playing around with some of the algebra of the setup. It works if I
use
only one pseudosphere-pole and where 1/2 circumference of pseudosphere
pole equals 1/8 circumference of sphere.

So this relationship is starting to materialize as true:

Earth Sphere = 40,000 km circumference
Earth Sphere 1/8 circumference = 5,000 km
Earth Pseudosphere Pole = 10,000 km circumference and both
pseudosphere poles
would be 20,000 km

If it were 1/2 of a single pseudosphere pole circumference then I
would have
the 5,000 km but that seems awfully ad hoc.

But there maybe some mathematical relief in my favor. If we apply a
generality,
not just restricted to the sphere but to all ellipse containing the
pseudosphere
of a given diameter, then I think this relationship holds:

circumference of both pseudosphere poles when added together, the sum
equals
1/8 of the circumference of the diameter of the sphere.

P.S. I did note that in the tractrix curve that the defect from the
tractrix to the
circle of same radius is a linear defect of 8 to 1. What I mean is
that you go 8 units
of the Tractrix and you have 1 unit missing to the circle. The circle
is finite and closed,
yet the tractrix is infinite and open. Starting at 0 or the origin or
center of circle, that
you go 8 units of the circle, 4 on Y-axis and 4 on -Y, and you have a
defect of 1 unit
of the tractrix. So if I can better define this defect, maybe the
answer to 1/8 circumference.
