What is the geometry of the molecular gas in the CMZ - is there really a ring? Are the clouds on elliptical orbits? Which orbits?  Do cosmic rays, turbulence, x-rays, photons at other wavelengths, or other mechanisms heat the cloud interiors? Exteriors? What do we still need to understand from the kinematics? Are positions every uniquely associated with a given kinematic signature? How can we describe the turbulence?
