Distort curve according to the position of another curve

Hi,

I am trying to do something like this :

where when curve A expand/scaled, it will not intersect with curve B but will distort itself according to curve B like the dotted line.

I tried to do it with extracting the points on the curve and calculate the distance between them and if the value fall below a level it will move the point but i am struggling to get the specific point to move and to move it randomly.

I would like to seek for some advice cuz i havn't got a clue how I can achieve it or anyone of u know if there is already such thing available?

Many thanks.

Here are both Icon Version and Name Version of Systemik's Distort GHX. Where you see an Arrow pointing down on an input it means flatten and you will have to add the component to the workflow. (If there were any up arrows they would be Graft)
