Domain-specific

• Dual curve
  • The calculation must retain contact multiplicity; merely plotting tangent directions can miss the scheme or singularity structure.
• Parabolic line
  • For example, the distinction between constitutive identity and a convenient observable transfers from On a generic saddle-to-dome transition, the zero-curvature curve divides positive and negative Gaussian-curvature regions. to A ridge crossing the parabolic curve can generate a cusp singularity in the Gauss map..
