Two different abstract models
Two different positions
Two different ‘heights’:orthometric (related to geoid) = Hgeodetic (related to ellipsoid) = h = H+N
geoid undulation = N (‘potato minus egg’)

Equidistant ...
means “equal in distance”distance on earth surface equal to distance in map projection plane (scale 1:1)
but only applied to specific directions“all” directions to a single point, or “all” perpendiculars to a single line
… a confusing concept, because:
An equidistant projection has NO uniform scale

Why horizontal and vertical differentiation?
Horizontal deviationexponential increase of dD/D dD=1*10-6 * D3
1 mm / 1 km1 m
Example: distance D = 100 km:
Vertical deviationdH (mm) = 7,8mm/km * D2
dH (mm) = 78 * D2
780 m
