It's not the veil because there were distortions before the veil so obviously distortion is more fundamental than just being an aspect of 3D free will, especially if Ra calls free will the 'first distortion'. I have looked and it doesn't seem there is anywhere in the Ra Material where Ra clearly defines what they mean by 'distortion'. If anyone knows of any parts, let me know.
So far my best take is that it means that it is a 'twisting' of the fundamental truth and for every distortion it is another 'twist'. Thus, every action begins with that first twist.
I tend to picture distortions as a twist like you do. But I would associate them with love. A good way of undistorting yourself is realizing that your distortions are love or done out of love and then it can be undistorted. Even to detect them you got to love yourself enough to work on yourself. So I think a distortion is something that becomes the basis for an experience that isn't obviously love but still is. When you find the love within there is no more distortions. I don't know if that can always be applied though.
Why would Ra suggest that Logos/Love is the Second Distortion after the First Distortion of Free Will, do you think? It seems to me that the first distortion, according to Ra, is Infinity becoming aware of itself, and then there is a focusing and this focusing they call Love or Logos. Thus the first distortion of intelligent infinity is 'freedom of will of awareness', and this freedom of awareness is then focused through the second distortion, Logos/Love.
However, they never say what they exactly mean by the word 'distortion'. It seems suggested that without any distortion there is no freedom of will of awareness and instead absolute, infinite potential, as Ra suggests there being two parts to intelligent infinity, potential and kinetic. The former they call intelligent infinity, the latter they call intelligent energy.
Thus it appears to me that distortion is to portion or focus upon some potential within infinity (via Love/Logos), thus viewing some finite portion.
As for the questions of meaning, I might suggest that those things which are most meaningful are those which are most contextual for an individual. When something has meaning it simply has coherency.
