Now, A1 dives for a loose ball and slides after gaining control. A1 is in a position either on his/her back or stomach. This is not traveling.

Where does the line get drawn between 'jumping to catch' and 'diving for'?
Can player A1 dive/jump horizontally, steal a pass, and fall to the floor?
In your first 3 examples, the player had control of the ball before they fell to the floor. In your last example, the player did not gain control until they were already on the floor. That is the difference.
