A redundancy here
Does "here" makes the relative clause non-defining and if we omit 'here' the clause should be defining like #2, please?
1- there is thus a redundancy here, which Dr. X overcomes by adding to the notion of Z the general principle of Y, under which, as we have seen, this and that can be explained...

With or without "here", it doesn't seem very feasible to me that the "Dr. X overcomes" clause in this sentence could be a defining one. I would say that even without the comma we interpret it as non-defining.
