No book handy, but let's see if I can pick this one based on what I've read here and there and incubated.

Release consists of two independent parts: Uncock (#2) and Roll (#3). Release of the two is simultaneous or sequenced.
Uncock is indeed a DOWN motion and does not in itself contribute to Angular Speed (RPM), but DOES contribute to clubhead velocity (since the clubhead is being moved furher away from the fulcrum).
The primary reason for the uncocking is that we need to neutralize the cocking.
The reason we did the cocking in the first place was to shorten the Lever Assembly in order to be able to generate more Angular Speed for a given application of force.
Nice post metallion. 2 and 3 are so married in a Swingers stroke it is hard to seperate them even if they are released seperately. Down is on an incline plane and not vertical to the plane line.
I may be wrong about this . . . but I thought that Throw-Out was all about the flail. And that when you moved the flail in a straight line the swingle is out of line with the handle. But once out of the the club is out of the orbit of the hands it "falls out." And the wrist uncocks.
