What I'd say is that you want to have BOTH notes 'in memory', as you put it.
What the 'Y-shaped tube' metaphor in:

...tries to do is to 'fix' both addresses in your experience.
Then there is no 'going between them'. You just play them one after another, and therefore achieve a perfect legato.
Legato is just the playing of one note after another, with no change of timbre or dynamic.
Trying to CREATE a legato IS the problem.
