The world appears rectilinear, but is in fact curvilinear - a literal truth in physics, and a metaphorical one in metaphysics.

British Writer

Curvilinear shapes are often used in art and decor to create a sense of movement and natural flow.

Visual Impression

Curvilinear paths or patterns can imply a journey or process that isn’t direct but has bends and turns.

Not Straightforward

Curvilinear is often associated with shapes in nature, like waves, hills, or the outline of leaves.

Natural Forms

In art, curvilinear can refer to a style that emphasizes flowing curves over geometric angles.

Artistic Style

Artists may use curvilinear lines to suggest movement and fluidity within a static image.

Flowing Movement

Curvilinear art doesn't always replicate real-life forms but can express abstract concepts through curves.

Abstract Interpretation

In mathematics, curvilinear is specialized language referring to lines and coordinates that are not straight.

Geometry Jargon

Using curvilinear in a math context might involve advanced ideas like curving coordinate planes or bending space.

Complex Concepts

In mathematics, curvilinear encourages you to think about shapes and space in a non-linear way.

Spatial Thinking

 Khmers, and people all over the world practiced animism. Serpents were especially important in this belief system because in their fluid, curvilinear movement, they mimicked the flow of water.
